Podol circular hike

Open
The Dürnberger Moor is one of the most beautiful excursion destinations in the nature park. The freely accessible observation tower offers a comprehensive overview of the wetland biotope.
The Podolerte pond, hidden in a high forest, is ideal for swimming in summer and is still a lonely and idyllic place at any time of the year. The Dürnberger Moor is a witness to the Ice Age and gives us interesting insights into its sensitive habitat. Rare animals and plants, such as the carnivorous sundew, have their home here. From the observation tower we have a wonderful overview of the moor and its landscapes.
