Hiking
More specifically, in the description of the Elmpter Schwalmbruch (grass snakes love water), we read "with a bit of luck, the hiker might observe a slow worm or a grass snake" - see wa-wa-we.eu/nl/premium-wandelroutes/wanderwege-details/schwalmbruch.html
If you're lucky enough to spot one: the grass snake is completely harmless, as you can read on the sign attached to the sculpture.

About the grass snake: it's a water-loving snake that can swim excellently, lives in moist habitats with plenty of hiding places and sunny as well as shady spots, and is completely harmless and (therefore) non-venomous.
