In spring the meadow is full of wild garlic (Allium ursinum), it smells so wonderful. But be careful when picking, it is not the smell that is the hallmark (after the second leaf everything smells like wild garlic) but wild garlic leaves always grow out of the ground in individual stalks. The lily of the valley always has two leaves on one stem.

Summer is coming and the pandemic will be over one day. And then you can round off a tour with a little bathing pleasure. Or define swimming as a tour destination?

Inconspicuous, a little hidden, but still worth a visit. Of course only during the warm season (and after the pandemic)

Very nicely located. Wonderfully quiet. Fishing is strictly forbidden here. Should only be to relax.
