Above Lake Plötsch, an idyllic rest area with a bench and table invites you to linger. From here, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the approximately eight-hectare, up to twelve-meter-deep lake. To the north lies Lake Garrensee, and to the south lies the Schwarze Kuhle. A peaceful circular path leads around the clear waters.

Salemer Moor Nature Reserve with Adjacent Forests and Lakes

Highlight (Segment) • Natural

A fairly large, wonderful moor in which you can study the individual stages of development better than in many others. On the south bank, the heavy silting is already visible, further along the path it is still very watery. In the solid background, a doe and her calf scurried past and on some small islands we found a mystery in the form of white islands, which were unfortunately separated from us by water for a few meters, so we were unable to take a direct look. However, we are hoping for an answer from Nabu and/or the Salem district forestry office.
There is also an observation tower for cranes, but unfortunately we did not see any, as we were a little too early in the year for that. The direct path along the moor was not closed, but blocked by a barrier, so we took the path around the top. But that doesn't matter at all, because even so, the moor is impressive like few others.
