Nature and adventure trail: Otter Path

Why do otters feel so at home in Lake Großer Mochowsee and what do they actually eat? The Otter Path leads around the Lake Großer Mochowsee. The habitat of the otters and the special geology of the area are explained in detail. Other subjects dealt with on the panels, signs and hands-on stations are the importance of still water and local fishing activity. Along the path there are also idyllic bathing spots where you can take a break.
A total of nine kilometres in length, this nature trail is one of the longest of a total of six circular paths that are linked to the Ludwig Leichhardt Trail in loops.
