Just forest...pure nature. Peace and quiet from everyday life, what more could you want? Damage (strong waves caused by roots) has been removed. A great cycle path.

The history of the lovingly designed museum village with its wonderful shotwood houses began in 1990. The Erlichthof settlement was officially opened in 1997 as part of the nature and fishing festival. The Erlichthof with its historic heath houses has now grown into a small village with a farm museum, tourist information, restaurants, traditional workshops, small shops and the wolf museum. There are always exhibitions, guided tours, various holiday offers and of course you can also stay overnight in the holiday accommodation. Definitely worth seeing facility.
