Also a nice place for a break...the bench/lounger invites you to linger.

It was a new discovery for me today. The roof appears to have been recently maintained, meaning moss and lichen were removed. Now the sheepfold looks like new again. And there are also good places to sit and take a break.

A small patch of the "old" Emsland has been preserved here. Unfortunately, it is no longer accessible due to a wolf fence.

On the short stretch of path you feel like you have been transported directly to the (Lüneburg) Heath

Beautiful facility in the middle of the forest, spaciously laid out with a large parking lot.
