Between Brandenburg and Berlin: Hiking with children in the Erpetal nature reserve

Between Brandenburg and Berlin: Hiking with children in the Erpetal nature reserve
This family's experience:

Activities: We went hiking in the Erpetal Nature Reserve with the kids. We followed the Erpe stream, stopping at various play stations. The kids played on a large game of "Mühle" made of tree trunks and stumps, and played the xylophone. We walked from Heidemühle

Highlights: The kids loved the play stations along the way! "So a short nature trip does the city child good every time." It was a fun and short hike, even for small children and in winter. They enjoyed throwing stones and collecting sticks ✨
