On both sides of the Reuss bridge, there are many free parking spaces that can be used as a starting point for hikes or bike tours. Directly at the Reuss bridge, there is also the restaurant "Hecht" where you can indulge in culinary delights.

Here a jetty leads to a bird watching stand. It is a wooden hut on a jetty, with seating facilities to linger and observe birds at the same time.

Always a great view of the Flachsee, with its diversity of birds. It is also a vast nature reserve that invites you to linger and observe the wildlife. In summer, you often see water buffaloes frolicking in and around the Flachsee.

Yesterday, through a highly magnified pair of binoculars on one of these islands, I was able to observe five cormorants in close harmony: Magnificent! The birdlife here is truly diverse - a magnifying glass is actually a must. But the photos stored here by Komoot users are also great in this highlight - especially the photo of the kingfisher, which I unfortunately haven't had the chance to see yet...
