Along the bird trail, local birds are introduced. The wooden boxes, each featuring a picture and a question mark, are particularly interesting. When opened, pictures and information about a past "Bird of the Year" are displayed.

The Luisenbrücke bridge over the Neue Achen river at the outflow of Lake Simssee was rebuilt in spring 2025 for €224,000. Fifteen ten-meter-long oak piles were driven into the swampy ground for this environmentally friendly and sustainable wooden structure in the nature reserve. Fishing boats can pass unhindered under the bridge. The first Luisenbrücke bridge on this site was built in 1969 and renovated in 2001.

Lake Simssee and the "Southern Shore of Lake Simssee" nature reserve, established here in 1993, are nestled in a gently rolling landscape with largely untouched reed and shore areas. A well-maintained path leads from Ecking through moor and reed areas to Baierbach. The protected area around the lake's outflow covers an area of 257 hectares. Many now-rare plant species live in the floodplain forests and meadow and moor communities of the silting zone.

The path along the reed-covered shore leads through the "Southern Shore of Lake Simssee" nature reserve. Rest areas with benches are located right by the water every few hundred meters.

The Toni Rietz Trail crosses the Sims River over this wooden bridge shortly after it flows out of Lake Sims. The almost eight-kilometer-long watercourse was first mentioned in a document in 1522, and the village of the same name, known as "Sinsa," was already mentioned in 790. The name is possibly of Celtic origin and derives from Senja, which means marshland and reeds.

This beautiful bathing area with a shady lawn is located on the southern shore of Lake Sims, about four kilometers east of Riedering. For younger swimmers, there's a children's beach right in front of the lakeside terrace. There's also a boat rental with four rowing boats and four pedal boats. Guests can indulge in culinary delights on the beach at the Seewirt restaurant with its beautiful sun terrace.

The Seewirt Ecking is a popular day-trip and dining restaurant located directly on Lake Simssee, with a terrace and outdoor seating almost right down to the shore. In summer, the Seewirt is open daily except Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with hot meals served continuously from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. One of the daily specials, such as Wiener Schnitzel or roast pork, is always available for under ten euros.
