    Mountain biking

    A relic from the terrible Nazi war policy: The Westwall. The surviving parts of the tank barriers can be found in our region in many places, which are called because of their shape and cusp line or dragon's teeth. Today they are not only a memorial, but also a retreat for plants and animals - at least it does not disturb the cows in any way ;-)

    Nice to see how the cows lie between them.

    Thousand-year-old remnants of German history.
    Nature is slowly reclaiming the territory that was taken from it.
