Schwackenreuter
& Sauldorfer See -
hike 🏞️.

The background of the hike that we did today as a couple is the planning of this year's May 1st club hike.

There are two variants, one suitable for strollers and one more sporty over hill and dale.

The Schwackenreuter lakes are pure nature. Bring a lot of time Binoculars and a large telephoto lens should be in your luggage. Wild life testifies to the power of nature. A diverse flora and fauna has developed there from what the gravel quarrying wonderfully modeled and left to us.

I had the idea to run this beautiful lap from Jürgen S.
The very relaxing circular hike leads through the nature reserve of the Schwackenreuter / Sauldorfer Seenplatte, created by gravel mining.

Except for a jogger and lots of waterfowl, I didn't meet anyone on this tour today. A wonderfully quiet round through the nature reserve around Sauldorfer and Schwackenreuter See.
