Tips from the Community
So the moor church is not really a church. It was used as a stable and the upper part as a high seat, and since the building is reminiscent of a church, it was eventually called the moor church. So it has never been a church.

The small shelter is modeled after a historic beehive... inside, a historic beehive illustrates a bee colony and its individual inhabitants... right next to the shelter, you can also get the corresponding stamp for your hiking pass.

Where beautiful heather plants usually bloom, this area is just sand, making you feel like you're in a desert landscape... a nice change.
