The Buckowseerinne was created during the Ice Age and by the melting of the glaciers. The lake is only about 1.25 meters deep.

It's just a nice corner. The cobblestones can be "bypassed" quite well at the edge

Lake Bültensee is a breeding ground for black-headed gulls, with approximately 10 to 15 pairs. Swans and geese can also be seen there. Lapwings have also been seen there since 2025; there were at least 20 birds in October, I suspect they were migrants. Swan breeding has also been very successful, with one pair alone producing six chicks.

We suddenly stand in front of a pasture fence that also carries electricity. We do not find any signs that prohibit entry and overcome the "tingling" obstacle. It continues on a pasture and we come closer to the lake. The animals are far away during our crossing and are not interested in us. A wide path leads up a small hill and over the pasture fence again. This time a sign hangs, which forbids entry and indicates a bull. We could not see any of the animals as bulls while we were there. The rest of the way leads along the cow pasture back to the starting point. At one point you can get closer to the animals - separated by the pasture fence. But the interest in us is only moderate.
