A walk in the Woods provide excellent opportunities for walking, running and playing. You can challenge your balance on the fallen tree trunks, jumping in dead leaves and climb trees. On the way children develop their senses and body awareness.

In spring you can pluck anemones, and in summer you can take a picnic and maybe even spend the night in the Woods on one of the many marked pitches. In autumn you can play in the dead leaves and gather chestnuts, and in winter you can sledge and look at the animal tracks.
