Manor House Alt-Horst

Highlight • Historical Site

The manor house looks a little English. A remote commodity that I didn't know until now. Formerly in the border area today in the middle of Germany. The whole area is still lonely.

Fredeburg Wisent Enclosure

Highlight • Natural

The circular route around the bison enclosure is exciting because the bison are quite curious and like to get to the fence.
