A hike for nature lovers!

Nature park lakes as fas as you can see:

A top highlight is the Dürnberger Moor. It radiates an idiosyncratic charm and mysterious orginality. As witness of the ice age, the moor invites to a voyage of discovery and gives the visitor insights into its sensitive habitat. Rare animals and plants, such as the carnivorous sundew, have their home here.

The Podolerteich is hidden in the middle of the forest. In the quiet water surface the high spruces and larches are reflected, which make this place look like in a fairy. Especially for families this bathing pond ist a very special attraction.

The Muhrenteich and its romantic surroundings invite you to stay, relax and recover.
