Two very sweet and trusting donkeys were in the large pasture. They enjoyed being petted.

Another highlight created by "FM" Frank Mohr. Most of these forest sofas are located in well-frequented spots and are gladly used by cyclists and hikers.

Another beautiful forest sofa that Frank Mohr has created here. With occasional sanding, such a sofa lasts about 30 years.

The lakes were formerly known as Hinterlingerseen and are historic reservoirs. They were used for fish farming, water storage, and for ice production for the former Sindelfinger brewery Schlanderer. Because they are fed by the Diebskarrenbach, they were renamed Diebskarrenseen.
