💙🌊A milling breast is the extension of a receiving water in front of a pumping station in the form of a small lake, which interrupts the flow, collects water and temporarily stores it. A hiking trail leads around it. Benches are available. Beautiful photo motifs that always look different in every season/time of day 🎨📸💙

A protected and fenced-off protective biotope for waterfowl has been set up here. The hustle and bustle can be observed from a small wooden platform.

Even if you often don't see the birds, you can hear them well. All the nicer when a large swarm pulls over you.
