Hiking
Holding basin 'the village meadow' has been constructed to prevent flooding in earthquakes and the city center during severe weather. It is about 8 hectares in size and has a capacity of 75,000 m³ of water. With the adapted planting, it is a valuable biotope with a walking path, a rest area and an observation spot for bird watchers.

Hiking
Parking lot before starting the route. You can also walk to the Kerkom brewery. Follow the orange arrow after crossing the paved road. At the chapel to the left you come out.
