Bird Island and Love Nest: This hiking suggestion includes a well-known and a hidden highlight. The well-known one is Bird Island, created to provide a safe breeding and living space for waterfowl on the newly formed reservoir. The island's viewing platform has become a popular spot for birdwatchers who come with their cameras to observe the activity on the water. Less well-known is the village of Wald, now part of Gunzenhausen. Here, in 1749, the Wild Margrave of Ansbach acquired a hunting lodge that also served as his love nest.
