I had seen this tour with Leo Sausemaus. I had never heard of this nature reserve on a former military training area. A really nice tour, especially after we left the Sunday excursionists with the horses. Very nice lap and the crosses on the Sternberg had been on my list for a long time. Thanks for the recommendation Leo Sausemaus!
