East Shore of Pfaffensee

Highlight • Lake

Totally nice for walking and jogging - it's best to come early in the morning when it's not that crowded.

The Neuer See is the centrally located park lake between the Bärensee and the Pfaffensee. On the north bank, a beautiful hiking trail runs directly along the lake shore with ever-changing views of the lake.

Bärensee (Bear Lake)

Highlight • Lake

Whereby most of the pictures here are not the Bear Lake, but the "New Lake". The entire lakes here run under the generic term "park lakes" and were artificially created …

Bonsai Beech at Pfaffensee

Highlight • Natural Monument

It is quite obvious that someone has taken care of the new shoots of the felled beech and is actually caring for them in the spirit of bonsai. See de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonsai …

Beautiful circular route directly between the lakes and the forest. Wonderful landscape with lots of resting places. Flat entry points for dogs. Unfortunately no rubbish bins, except at the Bärenschlössle. Not very dog owner friendly. Will come back. We recommend.
