I love the bread they make, it's not cheap but definitely worth it. Try to get a 'Käsestange' (Cheesestick) before they are sold out!

This is a big green area that is rather wild and not too busy. It's nice to take a walk there on hot summer days, not so much when it is rainy though, it can tend to be extremely muddy.
This is actually an area where the military used to trained decades ago.
