A lovely rest area right at a road junction... If you're traveling by bicycle, you can repair your bike at the on-site repair station.

The path leads through a deep, eroded riverbed with many roots. Fortunately, it was dry where we were.

The spa park in Bad Schwartau is a green oasis in the heart of town. Here you can relax, take a stroll, and enjoy nature. The view of the spa park lake, which was created in the 1930s, is particularly beautiful.
