Weiherhammer Bird Sanctuary

Highlight • Lake

The nature reserve includes the water area and the silting zones of the basin pond east of the village of Weiherhammer. Together with the ponds to the southeast, the basin pond was part of a kilometer-long chain of ponds. It served to equalize the supply of water for the gunsmiths founded at the beginning of the 18th century. The pond is fed by the Haidenaab, which flows into the pond via the Brandner Canal. Today the area is an important habitat for waterfowl and an important stopping point for bird migration. A special feature is the black-headed gull colony, one of the largest colonies in northern Bavaria.
Accessibility: An educational hiking trail leads along the Brandner Canal to the Beckenweiher and the nature reserve. Various topics such as geology, cultural history and nature are explained on boards. Please stay on the marked paths.

Mooslohe Raised Bog

Highlight • Natural

Here you pass a beautiful moor area with its typical landscape with dead trees. Definitely worth seeing, but don't stop too long, because there are of course mosquitos here too 🦟.

Waldnaab Bike Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Very nice section between Hammerharlesberg and Neustadt. The cycle path runs along the Waldnaab and always offers a beautiful view of the river or the floodplains. The "Franz Pöllath Rastplatz" is ideal for a break.
