Such an idyllic pond! On the left bank is the former "Kahnhalle". It used to be used for rowing boat rentals, among other things, and is now a private weekend house. Source = Information board on site: https://www.ludwigswinkel.de/pdf/18-kahnhalle.pdf

Beautiful and quiet lake with the possibility to go boating. According to sources, an early medieval farmstead was also lost in this paddling pond.
