EU bird protection area "Emstal from Lathen to Papenburg". In the northwest it borders the "Brualer Hammrich" nature reserve and in the north the "Vellage" nature reserve. Very pleasant to ride and absolutely recommended

Good place for photos. I gave the photo to friends and told them that the signs in Emsland are now all getting bigger for the visually impaired. Some people believed it.
