Squirrel Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

A well-kept and somewhat special little rest area. The figures remind me of the works of chainsaw artists.

March 2, 2025,Bad Schmiedeberg - Naturpark Dübener Heide ☀️🌳🌲🎋
The second round today went from Bad Schmiedeberg through the beautiful Dübener Heide nature park ☀️ 🌳🌲🌿.

Today again to the beautiful view. This time we chose a different path. There are many ways to get there, more or less long but all comfortable.
If you want to eat there when the weather is nice, you should be there early, better still make a reservation. Open from 11.30 a.m., plenty of friendly staff will serve you earlier. …

Today, on the 550th recorded Komoot tour, we went to Bad Schmiedeberg. Short round through the city center, then through the really beautiful spa park and through the forest to the excursion restaurant Schöne Aussicht. In addition to the usual offers, there was also some live rock music today.
