Beaver dam

Highlight • Natural

The water slowly seeps through the beaver dam.

Worth seeing in every season. Pure nature. Today, with temperatures around freezing, it's a little less green, but with white highlights.

This little photo tour was a fun slide. The rain of the last few days has made the paths on the Briese muddy. But it is precisely this fact that gives the pictures a great look. The many reflections and the early morning fog created a special atmosphere.

Beautiful hiking trail. Very natural, hardly any human intervention.
Currently even the paths are shifting because of beavers. The breeze can accumulate in several places, causing the water level to rise and older paths to overflow.

Very impressive what nature has created here.

A nice little walk through the beautiful Briesetal to stretch your legs...
After 7 p.m. you'll meet a maximum of 2-3 people on the boardwalk or at the Briesesee, but after that you'll only hear birds, snakes and other animals rustling in the undergrowth.

On our New Year's Eve visit, we wanted to show a particularly beautiful corner and decided on the breeze.
The selection was also well received by the children, although neither beavers 🦫 nor the threatened zombiber could be seen - but there were enough traces to be discovered

Finally made another round in this great area. With storm, rain, lightning and thunder you see things that you would not otherwise discover.
