Apparent Doppelgänger Memory Game, Plothener Teiche

Highlight • Rest Area

There are many information boards and play stations around the Plothen ponds. Here you can play again. Six animal species hide behind the flaps. But the photos are not identical, you have to find the respective partners.

Birdwatching Tower Dreba-Plothen Pond Area

Highlight • Viewpoint

In the stilt house with a view of the Födischteich, animals can be observed without disturbing anyone. In addition to the many bird species, with a little luck you can also see fallow deer.
