マリアピールの天然記念物・トップ4

Currently (5/2025) so overgrown that there is hardly any view.

Very beautiful especially in this weather

Beautiful area for walking and cycling. Cycling is recommended on a gravel bike or MTB. Cycle paths are quite sandy.

Beautiful nature reserve. You drive on it via a hard gravel path. The paths on the area itself are somewhat sandier. Left or right does not matter, all directions are beautiful.
