Dexter Cath
May 5, 2025, Lakeside Jetty with Seating

On the left side of the floating dock are very tall reeds. Ducks often stay there. During my visit, I even saw a family of ducks with a total of eight young.

The path twists through the forest, with breathtaking views over the lake visible between the branches. The lake is nestled into the centre of the Illern Nature Reserve. The water is clear and the biodiversity is exceptional.

A beautiful jetty with seating along the sides. A cute pair of ducks were taking a siesta here. A little further up is a fire pit with benches.
