As soon as spring is there I normally love to go and play crazy golf ... or as we call it "Minigolf". There is an old minigolf course at Baldeneysee and as it's the only one I know in this area we went here as soon as spring 2003 arrived with 20C in March. Of course we weren't the only ones, everybody seemed to have had the same idea ;-)
Equipment: All you need it €2,50. The rest you will get there. Oh, and on a sunny day bring some time, you will have to wait quite a lot!
