This 1.5km long lake promenade is always dry, has an ancient line of trees and art: 'flying fish' to the south and wooden sculptures along the way.

Wonderfully quiet area for cycling. You can really enjoy nature. Although sometimes the tree roots under the asphalt make themselves felt. Of course, only for short sections

The hiking trail circles up to three-quarters of the Windebyer Noor lake and offers fantastic views of the water at every turn 😊... There's lots to discover and it's a wonderful place to unwind 😉...
