Playground at the Glider Airfield

Highlight • Rest Area

Nice large playground right on the edge of the forest, but shady, accessible from the central parking lot in about 10 minutes. Many seating options.

Path Across the Glider Airfield

Highlight • Trail

This hiking trail is hardly recognizable, but it is very pleasant to walk and it offers a wonderful view.

Open Fields of Grafenberg

Highlight • Natural

Nice open area at a glider airfield. But the gravel on the trail is very large, making it uncomfortable to hike. No recommendation for bicycle tires either.

Woodland Trails by the Racecourse

Highlight • Trail

You can run wonderfully past the trotting track. Sometimes you even have the choice between asphalt or natural paths. With the mud today, we were happy to have solid ground under our feet in between times.
