Alter Steinbruch Liekwegen Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

In winter, it is a bit unspectacular, mainly muddy.
A small highlight, however, were the Sorraia horses that are kept there for grazing the areas. Beautiful animals. When I was there today, there were only three in number.

July 23, 2021,Erkundungstour durch den NABU-Park Liekwegen
We started the weekend with a nice walk through the NABU-Park Liekwegen.
The ☀️ seemed and around us fluttered 🦋 and dragonflies.
Unfortunately there were no wild horses to be seen, but a white deer in the game enclosure.
Display boards on the nature trail show interesting details.
