The hiking trail along the western shore is highly recommended. You'll be treated to magnificent views across the water and, at times, of the castle. It's best combined with a hike to Einfeld and the Einfelder See lake, and through the Dosenmoor nature reserve.

There's a drinking water dispenser here. It's made of stainless steel; you could walk right past it. It was very useful today...

The panoramic forest path is a good 1 km long. Outside of the growing season, it offers a view of the lake and the monastery and leads past a fake megalithic grave.
