Pond at the Start of the Hiking Trails, Naturpark Südheide

Highlight • Lake

There are some nice resting places right next to the - very few - parking spaces at the restaurant. From here you can already see the first, beautiful pond. The way from here is well signposted.

View of the Lake in Naturpark Südheide

Highlight • Lake
