    Hiking

    A designated nature reserve since 1982. Today the former lake has become a fen.

    Hiking

    A wooden viewing platform offers a view of the Merklinger Ried. A sign provides further information about the nature reserve. Unfortunately, the view is quite overgrown in summer, while the bike and hiking paths through the nature reserve offer significantly better views in some places.
