Bird island and love nestThis hiking suggestion includes a well-known and a hidden highlight. The well-known one is Bird Island, which was created to give water birds a safe place to breed and live on the newly created reservoir. The viewing platform on the island has become a magnet for bird lovers, who use their cameras to follow the action in the water. Less well known is the community of Wald, today a district of Gunzenhausen. It was here that the Wild Margrave of Ansbach acquired a hunting lodge in 1749, which also served as his love nest.
