Around the lake, there is a circular trail. An IMPORTANT information is, that the Breitenauer See is only in winter a interesting birdingplace, so all informations are for birding in the winter. At the beginning of the trail you should look and hear for finches at the trees. You can watch different species of them, for example Eurasian Siskin, Eurasian Bullfinch, Hawfinch, Greenfinch, Common Chaffinch, Brambling, European Goldfinch and maybe Linnet.
