There is an approximately 3 km long circular path around the Weichselbrunnweiher. A small wooden bridge separates the Vistula fountain from the Hammersee.

In the nature reserve Weichselbrunner Weiher and dry pine forest are protected since 1993 on over one hundred hectares mainly dry, lichens and Zwergstrauchreiche pine forests, which are typical for the Bodenwöhrer bay. You can explore the nature reserve in detail via the hiking trail "Through the nature reserve". Since many rare animal and plant species are native here, you should, however, stay on the signposted paths.

Weichselbrunner Weiher and dry pine forest near Bodenwöhr

The Weichselbrunner Weiher was probably created in the middle of the 13th century by expanding the Gleixner stream system. The area includes the Weichselbrunner Weiher, a section of the Gleixnerbach and the surrounding forests. These are mostly dry, lichen-rich sand pine forests that are very well adapted to the sandy and nutrient-poor soil. The very tread-sensitive lichens, mosses, dwarf shrubs such as the evergreen bearberry and various orchids find a suitable habitat here. The forest partly borders directly on silting up areas and reed beds of the pond. Due to the high structural diversity of the area, a large number of sometimes rare animal and plant species can be found there.
Animal and plant species: The marsh terrapin, an endangered native orchid species in the Danube valley, is an inhabitant of the nature reserve. The evergreen bearberry also finds a suitable habitat in the sparse pine forests near Bodenwöhr. The high structural diversity also offers a suitable habitat for the grass snake
Several hiking trails lead through the area and convey the special features of the pond and the adjacent forest. To protect the plants, which are sensitive to foot traffic, we recommend staying on the marked paths.
