Loop
Varied loop in Schellbruch, Schleswig-Holstein.
This route leads into the area of the Schellbruch nature reserve, near the Schwartauwiesen landscape protection area and inspires nature lovers with different landscape forms. The Natura Trail leads through here, which is part of the Untertrave biotope network system and belongs to the "Traveförde" Natura 2000 area. This beautiful path leads along small lagoons, streams, freshwater ponds, ditches and smaller and larger ponds. With a bit of luck, wild geese can be observed and many other bird species also live in this natural paradise. So it is not surprising that this is also a local recreation area. In the fishing village of Gothmund there is an old village center with a pond, oversized oak trees and many beautiful half-timbered houses. It is possible to stop at an ice cream parlor in Israelsdorf.

- Lagoon view viewing platform
