Mountain biking

Small man-made lake surrounded by beautiful meadows, which is also protected. Many bird species can be observed here. At the edge of the river there is a bird watching hut. In the middle of the lake, on an island stands a big tree.

Mountain biking

The Obewr-Mooser See was summered in 2019. To do this, the water was drained and the pond floor was allowed to dry out over the summer. This slowed the silting up. Therefore, there was no water in the pond in 2019.

Hiking

The NABU practices traditional pond management here, thus preserving the habitat for many rare animal and plant species. The lake is also a popular resting place for migratory birds on their journey south.
