Fairy Tale Lake

Highlight • Lake

The trail coming from the east is also beautiful and partly blocked by trees lying across it. The fairytale lake compensates for the effort.
With a little time you can see what lives in the pond.

Today a small round through beautiful forest areas from Hirschhausen to the fairytale lake.. if I hadn't been invited this afternoon I would have taken the Weilburg animal park with me, but unfortunately it didn't fit 😉
