English oaks, Quercus robur. Age 350-450 years. Presumably the remains of an avenue supposedly planted around 1600. The thicker one had a circumference of 6.80m in 2022. Very beautiful trees, they look healthy.

A beautiful lake in a very quiet location. There's an official swimming area not far from the dovecote, which also offers the best views. Otherwise, swimming in this lake is a bit difficult due to the many large rocks, but it's possible. The northern shore (from the swimming area) is completely inaccessible, but the southern shore is easily accessible along a rustic path.

Just in case some stupid AI rewrites it again. My intended title for this highlight is: "Super Oaks - Real Giants!"

Very close to the quiet cobblestone road stand two magnificent, healthy giant oaks. They are almost unbelievably thick. I estimate the width or diameter of one of the trees to be a good 2 meters. That makes a very impressive circumference of approximately 6.3 meters. - You should measure it precisely, just for fun!

The lake is very clean, and this great swimming spot is quietly located. A large parking lot is just 100 meters away. Facilities include a long wooden jetty, a level access to the water, exactly four benches (two of which are new and very sturdy), and a proper covered rest area with a table and benches! Just being here and enjoying the view is completely worthwhile. There's plenty of space along the gentle slope, even if it gets quite crowded in hot weather. A small forest stretches behind the benches. Advantage: The location is sheltered from the wind. Disadvantage: You sit in the shade (almost always!). In the heat, shade can certainly be an advantage.

The detour to the lake is worthwhile; it's simply pure nature. You can even take a break right by the water.

An extremely beautiful dirt road. To the left, you have a continuous view of the Krummen Lake, and to the right, you have a view of the vast, rolling fields. Perhaps only as long as they aren't plowed yet. Definitely a hidden gem on a gravel bike. Even though the path is a bit bumpy or sandy in places, it's easy to get through.
