The easy day hike leads through the area of the Plothen ponds. The hike is well suited for observing water birds. There are also some swimming opportunities and, for those who wish, a nudist area. The hike mostly leads through a nature reserve, so the paths should not be left. A special attraction is the stilt house in the Hausteich and the nature conservation station.
Author’s recommendation
For nudist friends, I recommend a visit to the nudist area at Rothen Hiehl

From the hiking car park, you walk a few meters along the road before turning right and making your way through the ponds. You can take a break at the stilt house, as well as shortly afterward at the nature conservation station. From there, continue left past the youth hostel to the Rothen Hiehl. Those who wish can make a detour to the nudist area here (important: observe the dress code). Then continue towards the railway line, which you follow for about 600 meters. Slightly left in a curve, it returns to the starting point. Depending on your fitness, time, and weather, this hike can be varied as much as you like. After the tour, you can stop at the inn "Zum Plothenteich" in Plothen.
