Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle babbling? That's the Oefter stream, winding its way through the landscape. Imagine, monks once used this stream as a natural water source for their abbey, which used to be nearby. Behind you, on the hill, you can picture them studying and working, inspired by the surrounding nature. Now, look to your left, see the thick forest that provides cool shade in the summer. If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of a kingfisher darting swiftly over the water. Feel the fresh air and the calmness? It's an invitation to pause and soak in the beauty of this untouched wilderness.
