The new complex, a small green oasis between historic town villas in the heart of Heide. The park in the center not only invites you to relax and linger, but also offers the opportunity to play large-scale chess (with advance registration) or boules.

The Scottish Highlanders are a peaceful breed of cattle. Everything is very slow and they don't fixate on them with their eyes. Then they get very curious. I also really liked the view of the birch forest. It may be that I'm spoiled at the moment. So I have to "earn" a hike's stars. The water areas are visited by anglers, and they drive right up to them in their cars. There are also too many tractors driving too fast on the supply routes.
