Anyone traveling between Wannenberg and Wasenhütte simply MUST take a moment to reflect and enjoy this biotope in peace. Ideally, you should even repeat the loop two or three times – and the different light alone makes everything shine in a new light. Always impressive – in every season... of course, the mountain bikes are pushed.
