Easy to drive forest paths, sometimes branches and trees lying across, let's assume it's storm damage...🤔

A very nice place in the forest. Great with children: There is play equipment, a large meadow, a soccer field, a sparse forest, a stream and through the pit an interesting environment with a small cave and more...
