The beaver trail starts right next to the national park's information center. It is also an educational trail, and the typical plants are explained using information boards. The most beautiful section is the one on the river bank. All swampy stretches are made of boardwalks with wire mesh (to prevent slipping).

The Beaver Trail leads you deep into a green, vibrant world where nature still has its own rhythm. After just a few meters, you're enveloped by moist, earthy air, and the rustling of leaves mingles with the gentle rippling of the water. The trail winds along a quiet stream, where beaver tracks can be seen along its banks – nibbled tree trunks and artfully layered dams bear witness to these industrious builders.

You'll find information panels throughout, providing fascinating insights into the lives of beavers. For example, you'll learn that their burrows have cleverly submerged entrances to protect themselves from predators. It's fascinating to see how these animals shape and change the landscape without often being seen.

The wooden walkway makes it easier to walk, but after rainfall, it can be a bit slippery in places – so sturdy footwear isn't a bad idea. The surrounding nature appears untouched, and the mix of dense forest, open water, and overgrown shores provides variety. It's an ideal place to enjoy the tranquility and gaze over the mirror-smooth water.
