The 6.5-km loop hike through the Holzerather Forest follows forest trails and runs along the stream to the recreation center at Holzerather Lake.
Spacious sunbathing areas invite you to soak up the sun or relax in the shade of the mixed forest surrounding the lake.
From the lake, a small bridge crosses the gently babbling tributary to the water-treading pool. Children can let off steam on the lawns, the zip line, and the swing, or practice their balance on the 20-meter-long, natural log. A volleyball court rounds out the amenities.
It’s a 15-minute walk from the village. A large parking lot is located right next to the recreation area. This means you could also start this loop hike from here.
