Beautiful reservoir with benches for resting and walking around. It has been drained for the time being.

Authentic and always in a good mood at the Seetreff. Home cooking and homemade cakes are particularly tasty here. Opens mostly at lunchtime.

Great mountain bike route - only gravel and forest routes. If you feel like it, you can also try out the trail - natural - that's how it should be. A stop at the triangle hut is highly recommended.
