An ideal place to observe flora and fauna in peace and quiet, with a nearby circular hiking trail through the moor that provides information about the flora and fauna. A unique experience: the arrival of the cranes, which rest here in the autumn on their way south.

A beautiful wooden observation tower next to the moor. The view from the top is lovely, and the tower is always open to visitors (it's not locked). With binoculars, you can see quite far.

An ugly cell phone tower. Behind a high fence and razor wire. Actually not what I thought would be a highlight...
