Loop
Idyllic lake tour around Lake Mandicho, Bavaria.
The loop begins at the north-eastern end of the lake on the edge of Friedenau. The trail continues anti-clockwise, always with a view of the lake, through the Lechauwald forest to the lake's tributary - the Lech. Finally, the route returns along the other bank.
In autumn, winter and spring, with a bit of luck, there are many bird species to observe. Part of the lake has been designated a bird sanctuary. Geese and various species of ducks can be seen on the lake.
