Observation platform with a view of Großes Meer

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can go up and get an overview, but you get so close to the water anyway and the land is flat, the overview is just as good.

August 11, 2024,Iron Lake Challenge 05 - Großes Meer

Third lake of the Iron Lake Challenge completed. [Unfortunately Komoot didn't save the tour (support ticket has been unanswered for 2 weeks), so this backup has to be used now. As a result, the time and average speed are of course not correct and the photos are also a bit mixed up.] Update: Komoot has found the tour again, so …

Relaxed hike on a well-signposted circular route through a landscape worth seeing. Start at the observation tower in order to be able to stop off at the Landhaus or Meerwarthaus after 2/3 of the tour.

Nach kurzem Überlegen fiel die Wahl auf das Große Meer. Also Hund geschnappt, ins Auto gestiegen und los ging’s!

We walked around the big sea in strong winds. The circuit consists of asphalted and cobbled paths. You share the route with bicycles and cars. There are small houses around the sea where you can rest or escape the wind for a while. The highlights of the circuit are the two punts, hand-operated ferry pontoons across the canals. There are …
