Siegfried Fiets' sculpture park, located next to the railway line, provides a somewhat different atmosphere. I was able to admire the various stone and wooden sculptures completely free of charge. The expansive grounds offer opportunities for everyone.

A lovely little pond in the nature reserve. If you're lucky, you might even spot turtles sunning themselves. Above the pond, at the edge of the cliff, you can enjoy a great view of the entire valley. You can't get there directly, though; you'll need to take a small detour.
