From the Pferdekopf you have a great view over the Büsenbach valley and can watch beautiful sunsets.

Mountain biking

The horse's head, scenically very beautiful everywhere is heather landscape, when the heather is in bloom it is particularly beautiful. At weekends it is a very popular destination for cyclists and hikers. From here you can ride a lot of small single trails, for example Brunsberg, Höllenschlucht, Fliederberg or to Buchholz via Seppensen And all of this beautifully in the forest in the nature reserve.
