Author´s Tip / Recommendation of the author

Place to stop after a hike: Landgasthof Seebeck

Mosquitoes, horseflies, and other bloodsuckers feel very comfortable in the moor. Wearing long clothing also provides good protection in summer.

Safety guidelines

You should take enough water with you on a hike.
