If you are looking for a free family outing where children can play, climb, and explore nature all at once, then you should definitely visit the Grabau Nature Experience ("Naturerlebnis Grabau"). Right by Lake Grabau, a lovingly designed children's and educational forest awaits you, featuring interactive activity stations, a barefoot path, a low-ropes course, an exciting "nightline" (a guided rope trail), two forest playgrounds, and plenty of fallen logs and tree roots for climbing and balancing. A special highlight is the lakeside observation hut, where—with a bit of luck—you can watch water birds catching fish. Admission is free, and there is a large, free parking lot right on site. The paths are easily navigable with a stroller, and dogs are welcome too (please keep them on a leash). Find out what else there is to experience in the Stormarn district here:
