Just behind the campsite of Vauville begins the marked path through the 60-acre nature reserve. With calmness, attention and patience one can observe beautiful plants and the variety of exotic animals. Colorful iridescent dragonflies, green frogs - as small as a fingernail, huge spiders and lots of birds. The latter can be observed especially well if you go to the bird observatory on the way and look over the marsh pond.
In order to continue to protect this beautiful area, one should really stick to it, not to leave the trail.

Cost: none

Who undertakes the hike with a dog: Dogs (even on a leash) are not allowed in the nature reserve. Unfortunately, this was not mentioned in our hiking guide, so we had to switch to the beach, where you are not allowed to be with the dog at certain times. So it's best not to walk here in the high season and in the middle of the day.
