“Eisi”, the mascot of the “Friends of Lake Werben” eV, welcomes hikers and nature lovers on the 5,4 km long nature trail, a circular hiking trail with a total of 10 information boards and three observation points in quiet, peaceful nature.

This part of the European bird sanctuary is home to 66 confirmed breeding bird species and 39 migratory bird species, 11 species of amphibians and reptiles, 18 species of grasshoppers, 26 species of dragonflies and 33 species of butterflies, as well as countless mammals, fish and plants.

Nature has reclaimed the opencast mine pit; the association “Friends of Lake Werben” eV has helped it over three years of persistent efforts.
