Hiking

From the western lookout point, you have a unique view of the extraordinary diversity of the Brietz ponds. This valuable wetland habitat for migratory and breeding birds offers excellent living conditions for meadow and reedbed nesters such as marsh harriers, snipe, and water rails. White-tailed eagles, cranes, and black storks also find ample food here. In winter, northern geese and whooper swans use the waters as a roosting site. With a bit of luck, you might also spot otters and beavers, which have resettled in this area.

Here you are well protected from all weathers. Can watch the waterfowl well. For nature lovers who want to see more, it is advisable to take binoculars with you.
The ponds are well frequented by several species of birds.
We could see cranes, swans, ducks and geese. Smaller species are sure to be present as well. But it's too far away for the naked eye.
