Follow the signs for the Bayrische Au nature trail. Keep to the red-white-red markings until you reach the nature trail in the Bayrische Au raised bog area. The information boards provide you with interesting facts about the raised bog area. At the end of the footbridge, enjoy the view of the Vltava reservoir towards the Czech Republic from the platform and treat yourself to a rest on the benches. For the way back, either go back the same way or turn left onto the moorland hiking trail (this is not suitable for pushchairs, good footwear required). Both paths lead back to the starting point.
