Very beautiful, with its diverse landscapes in a small area. We took the long circular route.
It was through the forest, then along the edge of a field over a small hill with boggy meadows, then along a beautiful stream, through floodplain meadows, and back into the forest. And of course, in between, the tank wrecks, great for kids.
Highly recommended

Hidden among the trees of the Brander Wald stands an old T-34 tank, rusty and silent. Once set up as a target during the Cold War, it's now an abandoned giant from another era. Nature has slowly reclaimed it – moss on the steel, roots clinging to it. No information board, no fence. Just you, the forest, and this forgotten piece of history. An unexpected discovery that makes you pause for a moment.
