Fox Pond

Highlight • Lake

Today it is a small reservoir with biotope. Previously, it was used for rafting (short version: weir on, tree trunks washed away ^ ^).
Quietly located, the Fuchsteich invites you to take a break.

The beginning is not accessible by car. There is a parking lot at the very end of Rosenthal, 700 m from there. Almost the entire tour is asphalt or gravel. Only the short path to the pigeon pond is a hiking trail. But it is a beautiful forest area.
