At the beginning of the fish ponds there is a small parking lot where we parked our car. That's why we wanted a circular route, which unfortunately wasn't possible directly at the ponds. So we went back across the street, which was still very nice with little traffic and a nice view. Next time we will extend the route into the adjacent nature reserve.
