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.

October 26, 2024,Im Land der „1.000-Teiche" Plothen

The booklet with the hiking map "Plothener Teiche" (by @Geli) has been on the shelf for far too long. Today I took advantage of the last day of summer time 🌞 and started the project. I found the hiking route as a suggestion on Komoot. It is a very quiet area, well suited for hiking and cycling 🚶‍♂️🚴‍♂️.

The Plothen Ponds are an idyllic pond area and in spring/early summer the fresh green together with the blue sky looks particularly beautiful.

Today, for a change, put on your hiking boots and drove to the starting point of the hike in Plothen. From here we first went to the house pond with the well-known natural monument "Pafahlhaus". We continued to the other well-known ponds in the Plothner pond area. During the week you can see a lot of waterfowl on the ponds. …

Today we fled to Thuringia to escape the rain. What can I say, it worked. 😎 The land of 1000 ponds is made for nature and waterfowl lovers. Simply wonderful nature. Food, as so often, from the backpack 🖖

In and of itself it was a very nice round, personally I would wish for more seating.... The first 200 m were about 10 benches and then only after 9 km again 😔
