Birch Avenue by Erlensee

Highlight • Trail

Park-like paths take you around the Brießelserlen / Erlensee nature reserve. There is a lot of good information on the board. The idyll of the lake is marred somewhat by the noise of the nearby B3.

A small lake that you can quickly walk around, with beautiful trees. Nature trails aren't so relaxing for me, as the road noise was quite disturbing.

At the moment, many trees are tied up at one corner, which looks creepy.

Due to the wet, windy weather there was only one walk for our water rat.
This short tour of the Erlensee is wonderfully suitable for this.

The start and finish is the hiking car park
However, we only chose the direct tour around the lake. Therefore, the sculpture path was only touched on.

The lake is beautiful at any time of year. Pure nature
A lovely little walk
With lovely breaks to look around
And it was nice and warm for an ice cream afterwards🍨🌞
