Perfect view of the lake from the beautifully designed platform... at the right time of year, numerous tadpoles frolic on the shore.

The dense and very quiet forests here are something very special. The elevation profile is also very uneven and the paths are very winding. It is simply fun to hike in the Kasseedorf forests, parts of which are also protected.

This nature reserve is (partly) made up of former gravel pits. The hiking trails often run directly along the edges of the quarries (sometimes even on both sides). In between there are always pastures with suckler cows. A wonderful atmosphere!

At the upper pond there is a fantastic viewing point with two benches on the platform. This is the perfect place to observe the clear water and the wildlife.
