    Tips

    March 21, 2017

    Nature lovers can comfortably reach the platform via a long walkway to observe the animals on the opposite side of the Lippe at a height of around five meters. The platform is currently still supported by steel supports. Hornbeams now planted are to replace the steel supports in a few years. In the future, the planned Neue Stever will flow into the Lippe at the location of the new viewing platform.
    If you want to enjoy the view from the platform, you can reach it via Eversumer Straße, among other things. You should take the first entrance to the Eversum holiday park and the administration building. At the end of the residential road, a path goes left into the forest. After a few meters, a path branched off to the right that takes you to the viewing platform.

      Observation platform in the Lippebogen. From here you have a good view of a stork's nest in the distance. South of the Lippe, however, a path passes closer to the same nest.

        Once built on the pillars of mankind, at some point held on by the pillars of nature. A footbridge, which is now held up by a number of small trees.

          Very nice, the hike along the Lippe there. And then just enjoy the wonderful panoramic view 🥰

            Interesting natural structure. I'm curious to see if the plan to have the viewing platform supported by the willow trunks actually works. I'm just concerned about what will happen if the trunks lift the platform and the connections between the steel elements?
