Exploring the pristine reserves
Lake Solgen
20 square kilometers of kayaking bliss: Lake Solgen with its unique inland lake archipelago makes for a perfect day of nautical exploration in the cockpit. It is a protected Natura 2000 area consisting of three nature reserves that support a rich flora and fauna, both above and below the water surface. The old growth forests of the islands with their surrounding waters are a haven for rare birds and marooned kayakers.
We spend the day island hopping across the archipelago, scouting for the critically endangered white-backed wood pecker, ospreys, Eurasian otters and gorgeous coves to swim and chill in.
