Cormorant Colony at Nonnensee

Coastal section from Neukamp to Drumsevitz

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very scenic route with beautiful views. Unfortunately, the subsoil leaves something to be desired, especially if it hasn't rained for a long time, it can get very sandy here.

A walk around Lake Nonnensee is always worthwhile, as is a detour to Bergen.

There are three free options for parking your car and then starting your hike: The official car park is at Stadthof (east of the lake), or you can park in Parchtitz (approaching from the west), or in the large Familia car park and then cross the B96 (this is how you get to the lake from the south).

You can hear and smell them from afar: the cormorant colony at Nonnensee. At the beginning of the 20th century, this bird was almost extinct; only the granting of protected status in the early 1980s enabled the population to almost fully recover. Since then, it has been regulated by natural predators and competition among itself. High up in the trees, they stack sticks and twigs to form nests, making a lot of noise. Fun fact: To enable the cormorant to reach its diving depth of up to 9 meters, its plumage is not oiled. Therefore, we see the birds in their typical posture, with their wings open, drying their feathers in the sun.
