Beautiful! We were here in early spring, and not all parts of the path were easily passable because there were still deep puddles to navigate around. This meant the route had to be planned carefully. Also, the boardwalk ends practically in the water at one point, so it's best to plan your visit for later in the year.

At the well-maintained campsite at Badsee, you'll find the lovingly landscaped Herzlesweg (Heart Trail). A roughly 2.5-mile circular path through the forest, it features numerous heart-shaped markers with heartfelt sayings, opportunities to play games like Heart Memory and Heart Target, and activities to get your circulation going with squats and other activities. Highly recommended; it's relaxing, touching, and fun all at the same time.

We also stopped after the last jetty today because the water was still about 15cm deep in the shallow areas (and temperatures around zero degrees). Really amazing scenery. It's a shame that the jetties weren't moved further.

Very interesting moorland landscape with some highlights. In winter, some sections are barely or not at all accessible because they are flooded and icy. The ice is not strong enough and you can end up standing in water up to your knees. It is better to turn back.
