I liked the restaurant a few meters before the fairytale forest the best. It's so beautifully quiet and beautiful. I've been there several times. The first time, unfortunately, was for a sad reason. A good friend of my wife and me is buried there in the Ruhewald. We had known each other for almost 50 years.

In the past, sheep and Heidschnucke sheep were driven through the stream to ensure they were clean before being sheared. www.asendorf.info/freizeit-tourismus/wanderweg

especially with children it is a must - I had to take my niece and nephew piggyback and they always wanted to go to the "Trixer" ;)

The hiking trail is not recommended with a stroller because you have to drive over roots and stones. With older children who can walk the whole route alone, it is ideal 😁

The second stage of the “Wilde 13” long-distance hiking trail also runs nearby. The “Wilde 13” is not signposted or marked, but can only be hiked using a GPX file using the following link: www.dav-hamburg.de/dav/Wilde13 (as of March 2024).
