The rest forest begins directly after walking between the ponds. Right at the beginning there is a small place of worship where you can rest on several benches. A sign asks you to only walk (i.e. do not push or ride bicycles). If you walk along the paths there you will pass several other, but smaller places of worship. I can only warmly recommend stopping by here.

The Flaschenmoor is the largest regenerating and still partially preserved raised bog in Schleswig-Holstein. It lies between Bordesholm and Neumünster and is an experience in every season. Round tours of various lengths invite you to go hiking or walking. Don't forget your rubber boots if it's rained for a few days in a row. Further information and a map showing how to get there is available on the Flaschenmoor website.
