The Blitzenreuter Lake District has been known as an ecologically valuable area for many years. As early as 1924, the central raised bog core and its non-peat-drained surroundings were protected as a protected forest. In 1937, other parts of the area were designated as a nature reserve (Dornacher Ried with Häckler Ried, Häcklerweiher and Buchsee). In 1939, the Schreckensee was added, and in 1971 the Vorsee and Wegenried were added. Source: https://www.zwischenschussenundseen.de/index.php?id=15

Very attractive even in winter.

The location in an ancient cultural landscape has placed increasing demands on the lake landscape. Draining and cutting of the raised moorland that has developed over thousands of years has led to a huge reduction in its size. In recent decades, attempts have been made to reverse some of this. There are information boards with all the information.

Seating to linger or to have a small snack. The animal world can be observed here. You can also just let your gaze wander over the water.
