Today no new picture of the highlight, as not infrequently children were playing on the bridge in the Seebecke... 😉

Thanks for the explanation from @Maxe and @Manuuu🌳🚶♂️🚲! I think a themed tour should be generated from visiting all the sculptures in one go... 😉

On the meadow at the entrance to the village of Dachtmissen stands a high pole with a stork's nest at the top. As is usual in this bustling village, a sight is not just there, but in this case the nest is documented on an information board with a picture and text. However, I haven't seen a stork here yet this year... 😉

With the right vehicle, at the right time of year and weather, you can also venture to ride along the Aue between the bridge at Dachtmissen and the bridge over the Burgdorf bypass road, to see even more of nature.

Am I mistaken, or is the rotation position of the mill changed from time to time?

In any case, I won't miss the chance to do a few laps on the course with my MTB when I pass this 'playground' before the intersection of the extensions of Dachtmisser Weg and Riethornweg.
