The seven lakes in the middle of the low mountain range offer a special tourist attraction. The ponds of the Westerwald Lake District are located within the Rhineland-Palatinate town triangle of Dierdorf, Hachenburg, Montabaur and Westerburg. This German nature reserve already attracts visitors from all over Rhineland-Palatinate and the surrounding area. The wide range of leisure and sporting activities on offer are tempting for everyone. Hikers and cyclists have the opportunity to enjoy the unique panorama along the shore on the 7-pond hiking trail. In summer, the lakes offer fun and relaxation swimming or a pedalo ride on the Dreifelder Weiher.
The NABU Foundation acquired the ponds in autumn 2019, in particular to protect the idyllic habitat of the animals and plants. The bird sanctuary, surrounded by forests and meadows, is home to around 250 bird species. The Westerwald Lake District is a true paradise for bird lovers and amateur photographers, as it is home to great crested grebes, grey herons and coots, among others. With a bit of luck, you can also spot protected species such as the great horned owl.
