Loop
This loop passes through a landscape shaped by former gravel mining and subsequent renaturation. The Grüner See and the Silbersee function as habitats for waterfowl such as grebes, herons, and coots. A reconstructed Iron Age farmstead stands nearby and displays historical building techniques from the region. The path remains flat and runs between the water's edge and the surrounding forest belts. Swimming in the lake is prohibited due to cold undercurrents. The park is also associated with recurring annual music and cultural festivals.
