The cir­cu­lar walk begins at the small penin­sula that pro­jects into Lake Göhlensee. From there the trail fol­lows the yel­low dot. Lake Göhlensee is about two kilo­me­tres long and 45 hectares in size. It nes­tles in a val­ley set­ting, sur­rounded by slopes with a rich and var­ied tree pop­u­la­tion. Col­lec­tors come from far afield to this densely wooded area to look for mush­rooms at the mush­room har­vest time of year. The lake is very densely pop­u­lated with fish and is also home to breed­ing birds, such as great crested grebes, mal­lard ducks and Eurasian reed war­blers, plus great reed war­blers in the exten­sive reed beds. From the start­ing point, the cir­cu­lar walk heads south along the shore­line of the lake, at the south­ern end of which hik­ers have a mag­nif­i­cent view right up the entire length of the lake. The path then runs along the north shore. The lake inlet, a body of water con­nected to Lake Göhlensee, is sur­rounded by reeds and water mead­ows. We con­tinue walk­ing in an east­erly direc­tion until we reach the cycle path. The path bends to the right and con­tin­ues to the Wagen­burg inn. In addi­tion to nor­mal room rental, guests can also stay overnight in a cov­ered wagon. A camp fire with bar­be­cue facil­i­ties cre­ates a sense of West­ern roman­ti­cism for guests. From there, the trail leads west back to the start­ing point. For an even more spe­cial expe­ri­ence, vis­i­tors might like to con­sider a raft trip over the lake.
