The approach to the Brettmühlenteich or the Zschornaer Teiche is a semi-romantic one through the forest, but the parallel motorway and the chicken farm spoil the idyll a little. At least the asphalt is good, apart from the few concrete slab sections, and there is little traffic.

An incredibly relaxing spot in the nature reserve. You just have to take a break here. Otherwise, it's also great to drive along the dam between the lakes on the brand new asphalt road.

Even when I'm just driving past, I always take a look at the dreamy lake and in spring I'm happy when the great reed warbler chirps so comically.
