Tips from the Community
Wet meadow with a magnificent view This landscape park impresses with its beautiful view and the mix of trees and meadows. Sit down on one of the benches and watch the clouds drift by, how the sea moves, and with a bit of luck, you might even spot rabbits or deer crossing your path. It's only 500 meters to the youth hostel, and you also have the option of choosing a circular route from 550 meters to 1 kilometer.
