At this spot, sunlight breaks through the green canopy – a quiet, almost magical moment that bathes the forest in golden light. Especially in the morning, a peaceful atmosphere arises here, accompanied by the gentle rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds. I consciously savored this moment – one of those moments you go hiking for.

This bench is located a little off the beaten track in a particularly green, quiet corner of the forest. Here you can simply unwind, enjoy the fresh forest air, and listen to the birdsong – far from everyday life and traffic noise. I lingered here for a moment – no people, just nature. One of those places you can understand without words. A nice contrast to the history-rich stops on the tour.

At this lovingly designed station, you can compare your own jumping ability with typical forest creatures. On a ground marker, you can see how far a wood mouse, a hare, a fox, and a squirrel can jump. A little fun for in between – and a great place to stop for a moment and get active yourself. Of course, I tried it out – and found out: The hare remains unbeaten. 😉
