A short distance off the path, hidden behind a tree, is this small bench. It's a lovely place to unwind and put your feet up.

Highlight • Trail

Here, directly north of Lake Illern, there's a large crossroads with trails leading in seemingly every direction. In addition to the reserve's information board, including a helpful hiking map, there's also a signpost pointing out the most important routes.

Highlight • Structure

These days, they're more commonly found in more frequented reserves or hiking trails. Unfortunately, I don't currently know if you can look up the numbers anywhere. It would certainly be interesting.

Between forest and lake

Highlight • Trail

The path twists through the forest, with breathtaking views over the lake visible between the branches.

The lake is nestled into the centre of the Illern Nature Reserve. The water is clear and the biodiversity is exceptional.

If you walk a little way from the hiking trail to the shore you will reach this great vantage point from which you can get a great view of the floating dock on the opposite side of the lake.
