January 12, 2024,1000 - Teiche - Rundweg bei Plothen 🌊

It was a really very relaxing day.
Lots of nature.
Lots of pond.
Very quiet.
We'll definitely come by again.
If so, maybe in spring, when everything starts to bloom 🌼 and the little chicks 🐣 hatch, or in summer ☀️, when everything is green.
There are enough hiking trails 🥾 and/or gravel bike paths 🚲. There is also no …

There were plenty of rest and relaxation opportunities …

A wonderful round in a magical pond landscape🥰🤩👌
Unfortunately, the bird world was not so impressed by the heavenly water and was quite sluggish, but at least due to the dreary calm on Sunday there were a few wild geese and ducks, two cranes, deer and a pair of swans per pond to admire 😊
Highly recommended and we will …

Beautiful round without any climbs through a huge pond area that has grown over centuries.
There is also a lot of forest.
The animal observation huts are highly recommended.
