Here you will find a sheepfold and, if you are lucky, the grazing herd. The grazing herd of sheep on the heath helps to preserve the landscape. In autumn, when the heather blooms, the sheep remove excess cobwebs that bees would otherwise get entangled in as they work on heather honey.

Extensive grazing of the heath by sheep helps to preserve the landscape. In the autumn, when the heather blossoms, the sheep eliminate an excess of spider webs, in which bees otherwise get caught working on heather honey.

Large heath area - unfortunately separated by the road. Partly used as a military training area and therefore correspondingly furrowed paths.
