Discover the Guttau Ponds on a beautiful circular route that lets you enjoy nature with your eyes and ears.

At the recommended start and end point, the HOUSE OF A THOUSAND PONDS in Wartha, further information material about the nature trail is available.

It will be exciting – forget the noise of the big cities! Here you can see, hear, smell, and feel nature. Let yourself be fascinated by the swaying reeds, the sparkling water surface, or the cloudy white fog banks. Admire the carpets of wood anemones in spring, hear the calls of the fire-bellied toad choirs and the concerts of whole frog orchestras. Experience the chatter of hundreds of wild geese in autumn or simply enjoy the atmosphere of the pond landscape with its huge gnarled oaks!
