Nice quiet place. A tree trunk serves as a bench to rest. If necessary, don't forget mosquito spray.

The Rotter Forest, a holdover from the last Ice Age, contains a multitude of habitats for animals and plants. In the large forest we find several moor areas, including a nature reserve. The quiet duck pond in the north of the forest is a popular hiking destination. It can be easily reached on foot from Rott.
