By boat, you go to the mansion district of "Schwarzindien" (Black india) and then continue to the alluvial forest on the western shore of Lake Mondsee. At this time of year, there is a lot of activity in the gray heron colony, where the adult birds have to provide their young with sufficient food. Young birds of Great crested grebe, mute swans and coots can be observed in the reeds. The first large dragonflies hunt across the water surface and have to be on guard against the hunting tree falcons. The reed singer, who can imitate the singing of many bird species, provides the musical accompaniment. At the outflow of the dragon lake into lake Mondsee, striking through the small wooden bridge, the beaver's territory begins. If you are lucky, you can maybe catch a glimpse of him (Most likely in the Fuschler Ache nature reserve). ### ATTENTION! Please note the minimum distance to the lake shore of 200 meters. It is strictly forbidden to enter the nature reserve at the outflow of the river "Fuschler Ache" (nature reserve). This part is also marked with signs. ### Service **Salzkammergut Tourism, Destination Mondsee-Irrsee** Dr. Franz Müller Str. 3 5310 Mondsee Telefon [+43 6132 26909 600](tel:+43613226909600) E-Mail Web [mondsee.salzkammergut.at/en](https://mondsee.salzkammergut.at/en) ### Nähere Informationen [ © Copyright öffnen © Copyright: Hemetsberger Schifffahrt Copyright schließen ![Hemetsberger Schifffahrt](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAABAAAAAJCAQAAACRI2S5AAAAEElEQVR42mNkIAAYRxWAAQAG9gAKqv6+AwAAAABJRU5ErkJggg== "Hemetsberger Schifffahrt (© Copyright: Hemetsberger Schifffahrt)") Mondsee am Mondsee ### Mondsee Bootsverleih Hemetsberger Beim Mondsee Bootsverleih Hemetsberger stehen Elektroboote und Tretboote von Mitte April bis Mitte Oktober (nur bei Schönwetter) bereit, um den Mondsee und seine romantischen Buchten zu erkunden, die Ruhe und eine Auszeit am See zu genießen oder mit der ganzen Familie eine… ](https://mondsee.salzkammergut.at/nachhaltigkeit/naturerlebnis-naturschutzgebiete/oesterreich-poi/detail/430010681/mondsee-bootsverleih-hemetsberger.html)
