Pure moorland - in spring and summer when it blooms, a dream 😍 but also in winter and autumn already an eye-catcher :)

Ancient Pasture Tree, Loosenberge

This beautiful grazing tree stands in the juniper heath in the Loosen Mountains. A relic from an earlier time and great to look at!

Juniper heath, pasture tree and inland dunes 🥾🎒 lots of interesting information boards
