    Hiking

    In June 2024, a herd of Konik horses was introduced to the "Golden Meadow" on the reclaimed Sophienhöhe. These robust horses, originally from Central Europe, live year-round in a fenced area of 24–30 hectares and, through their natural grazing behavior, keep the landscape open, promote biodiversity, and prevent excessive afforestation.
