This hike takes you around the Auesee lake near Wesel, one of the cleanest and most popular bathing lakes on the Lower Rhine.
From the starting point at the lido, the trail runs as a flat circular route on well-maintained paths, always within sight of the water. A particular highlight is the bird sanctuary island in the northern part of the lake, which must not be entered and thus offers an important refuge for numerous water birds. Grey herons, great crested grebes and, in winter, various duck species can be observed here, while red kites often circle over the adjacent Rhine floodplains.
