Forest path in Davert Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

If you don't like forest highways, here you'll find a wonderful narrow path; every now and then you have to climb over a tree trunk, which keeps the cyclists away 😊 Wild raspberries provide additional joy in early summer.

Green, greener, greenest. It really can't get any greener than this ❇️!!

Among other things, the 'Hohe Ward' is designated a water protection area. Because drinking water pipes are being replaced, some …

Very varied paths, sometimes wide, sometimes narrow paths and rampart paths. An area rich in water, a historic waterworks, and the Hiltruper Lake seemed mystical in the fog. Simply beautiful. Finally, …
