Hike in the agricultural landscape

Type of trails: Loops
A couple of loop trails have been laid out in the terrain. With the help of numbered postse, you can guide yourself around the farm's grounds. The trail is in the shape of a figure eight so you can easily choose to walk half or the whole round. You walk through the property with traces of e.g. ancient settlement and old agricultural technology and further towards the outback. Imagine that the landscape can be read like a book, where for example land use from further back is visible in the terrain as different chapters!
