The small Büsenbach flows through the valley, and heather-covered hills rise to the right and left. Gnarled junipers contrast with the flowering heaths. There are more and larger heaths: Wilsede; Röders Heide; Behringer Heide; Totengrund, Osterheide and many heaths Due to roots and other obstacles, the paths are more suitable for experienced cyclists. Be careful not to ride to the right of the Pferdekopf - that is prohibited! **Tip**: For a carefree experience, we recommend exploring the beauty of nature on foot. .

A very beautiful place, always. I love coming here. At the beginning of May you can hear lots of frogs croaking in the numerous small ponds. You go up to the Pferdekopf, from where you have a great view of the area.

The small island in the third pond can now be reached via a bridge and a small bench has also been set up. Everything looks new. In any case, an ideal place for a "photo shoot".
