The Zwochauer See is a pretty little lake right next to the Grabschützer See. So if you are planning a lap around the Grabschützer, you will automatically get past it. ☺️👍🏻

The nature trail is really a small highlight. It leads completely around the lake and you can learn a lot about nature and the animals that have settled there. This is especially nice for the little ones. ☺️

February 24, 2024,Mal wieder eine Runde um den Grabschützer See

Today it was all about the Grave Protector Lake again. Always nice and always something new to discover. The cloud play was also very impressive.

The nature trail (about 7 km) is definitely interesting for young and old! However, the sometimes occasional smells of the nearby Lissa landfill and the noise of the vehicles of the nearby S2 had a disturbing effect on the hike.

The nature trail looped around Grabschützer See. We didn't see much of the lake, but we did see plenty of signs along the trail. The highlight of this tour was the horse at the beginning. 🙃
