        The sandpit now belongs to the LBV. Please stay on the paths and keep dogs on a leash to protect the animals and plants.

          In the abandoned sand pit you can wonderfully explore the flora and fauna and examine the reliefs on the rock walls. Slowly, the nature takes back this place and when it has rained heavily, forming small ponds. There you can observe frogs, dragonflies and other insects.

            The former sand pit is recovering. Here you can discover many plants and animals that are visibly at ease.
