      On the northern Arber slope, in the middle of a 403 hectare nature reserve, lies the Little Arbersee - a moraine lake from the last ice age.

      Its area today is 8.56 ha, its maximum depth is 12 m. The lake did not get its size until after 1885, when it was dammed up by about 1 m for wooden drift purposes. Due to the damming, the moor blankets detached from the present lake floor, the three floating islands were created.
          As the name suggests, these are without a fixed connection to the subsoil and rise and fall with the fluctuations in the water level. The geologically unique floating islands in the Little Arbersee can change their position depending on the wind direction.
          On the moor blankets of the floating islands, which are between 1.5 m and 3.5 m thick, there is a characteristic moor flora with rare and endangered plant species, e.g. B. Scheidiges cotton grass, Rundblättriger sundew, cranberry, rosemary heather and marsh bear rag.
          Important note: Please stay on the marked path. Danger to life when entering the islands!

        A must-see. The circuit takes between 30 and 45 minutes. Possible by mountain bike, but not appreciated.

        Incredibly beautiful circuit around the lake, pure nature, a must for every nature lover.

        Greetings Marcus
