    Hiking

    The Drover Heath is an approximately 600 hectare nature reserve.
    It was opened to the public in late 2004 after almost 100 years as a military training area. It is a nature reserve and may only be walked on marked trails.
    These are sometimes closed seasonally to the rest of breeding birds. Please note the information!

    Hiking

    The former military training area is an important habitat for rare and endangered plant and animal species. In particular, breeding and guest birds that are susceptible to disturbance, such as the goat milker, woodlark, gray shrike and red-backed shrike have settled in this European bird sanctuary.
    A hike is particularly worthwhile in late summer when the heather is in bloom.
