Birdwatching Tower Dreba-Plothen Pond Area

Highlight • Viewpoint

In the stilt house with a view of the Födischteich, animals can be observed without disturbing anyone. In addition to the many bird species, with a little luck you can also see fallow deer.

Info boards nature knowledge

Highlight • Trail

Everywhere in the Plothen pond area there are display boards with very interesting overviews and information. It certainly takes a lot of work to maintain everything and keep it up to date. We hikers appreciate that! 👍
