Can my dog run off-leash?
Only in designated areas
Yes, in the designated dog exercise area. Keep your dog under control and follow local signs. The remaining woodland is not automatically off-leash.
The city map marks a 39,337 m² off-leash zone (map dated 2021), near the Niendorf Markt side of the woodland. See the official area map ↗
Different rules can apply to certain dogs and restricted areas. Check the signs before letting your dog off the lead.
Why go here?
Follow the woodland paths through mature beech and oak stands, open meadows and ponds. A fallow-deer enclosure is another point of interest; keep your dog controlled around wildlife.
