The Laußnitz Heath: woodland, hills and bogs

The Laußnitz Heath is not limited to a single type of terrain. Its landscape includes hills, bogs and heathland, all with the character of a large woodland area.

This lets you include the natural surroundings in your planning while also taking important regulations into account.

A low ropes course for shared activities

It is located next to the car park at the sports ground on Aidlinger Straße and is designed for shared activities with friends, family, young people and groups. It can be used without educational supervision. Before visiting, check the condition of the facility and the local rules for its use. This offers a specific activity and its intended users as planning considerations alongside the landscape.
