Great shelter if you need protection from the rain

A walk around Lake Nonnensee is always worthwhile, as is a detour to Bergen.

The small firefighting and village pond was revitalized and redesigned as part of a federally funded project between 2021 and 2023. The goal was to create refuges for animals, give nature space to develop, and at the same time re-establish a village center with a pleasant atmosphere for people. Measures such as aerating the pond and removing non-native and diseased trees around it were part of this. Several information boards explain the project, piles of stones and deadwood serve as refuges for animals, benches were installed, and a path was laid out so that we can walk all the way around the pond. The pond, along with the flowering meadow and orchard opposite and the rest area at the book phone booth, is part of the island biotope.

There are three free options for parking your car and then starting your hike: The official car park is at Stadthof (east of the lake), or you can park in Parchtitz (approaching from the west), or in the large Familia car park and then cross the B96 (this is how you get to the lake from the south).

You can hear and smell them from afar: the cormorant colony at Nonnensee. At the beginning of the 20th century, this bird was almost extinct; only the granting of protected status in the early 1980s enabled the population to almost fully recover. Since then, it has been regulated by natural predators and competition among itself. High up in the trees, they stack sticks and twigs to form nests, making a lot of noise. Fun fact: To enable the cormorant to reach its diving depth of up to 9 meters, its plumage is not oiled. Therefore, we see the birds in their typical posture, with their wings open, drying their feathers in the sun.
