The sheepfold at the sacred grove. A must-see. Information boards provide insights into many interesting things about the heath and the sacred grove.

It's a beautiful park with lots of information for all ages. To see the animals, you should attend feedings, as these shy creatures are otherwise in hiding.

I can no longer recommend the observation tower at Schweimker Moor because tall birch trees now completely block the view. It's hardly any better in winter. But it's still suitable as a shelter.
