If you're driving up or down the ridge past the old ammunition bunkers, be careful not to miss the entrance! It's a bit hidden, but the spot with the beech tree is beautifully situated and well worth seeing. 🌳🌲 #Ridge #AmmunitionBunkers #Entrance #Spot #Beech

Beautifully planted perennials and flowerbeds between small ponds and the floodplain landscape, parallel to the river. Very nice for a short walk. Benches on the bank with a beautiful view of the sparkling water.
