This family's experience:

Activities: We went on a path through the Lahder Marsch, a nature reserve. There were signs with information about the flora and fauna, and interactive elements for children, like quizzes and look holes

Highlights: The children liked the interactive elements. We learned why the birds need their peace and quiet. The area has a lot of little lakes, but we couldn't swim there because it's a bird sanctuary ✨
