A nice spot of earth. About wood planks you walk to the observation deck. From there you have a beautiful view of the lake.

If you bring time and binoculars with you when visiting the Federsee, you can observe many waterfowl and fish. For us it also had something calming.

Stopped here on the way home.
Highly recommended for nature lovers. Lots of bird species to watch.

From 10:00 a.m. you are no longer alone.
I'm glad I still held on.

The starting point is the parking lot at Federsee Steg in Bad Buchau. A wooden footbridge takes us 1.5 km through the moorland, past various viewpoints, to the Federsee. Accessible in all seasons, the lake invites you to linger and watch waterfowl.

Here is a link to the Unesco World Heritage Federsee:

Between the night shifts, a short walk across the Federsee jetty. Heiko had been there since the morning and had already ticked off most of the bird watching. So I was mostly watching bird people bird watching 😂
