This small biotope has existed for decades. A path leads through it, which is lined with trees, all of which have already been named "Trees of the Year". There are three ponds!

In earlier times, this was the washhouse for the local population. Now the small pond and the stream of the stream remind of the former times. A nice little hut invites you for a picnic. Lovingly designed place and part of the hiking trail "Bonertskump".
