Author’s recommendation

Make a stop at the fallow deer enclosure on the Breitenberg. Great fun and a good mood for children guaranteed. Enjoy the beautiful winter landscape and the tranquility. Let your soul dangle. From the Breitenberg you can enjoy wonderful views. The route is easy to walk even in snow.
