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

Wow, that's a hut. Very nicely integrated into the existing forest, you can study the small but fine menu of dishes in many places...or simply take a quick look at the menu on the wall when ordering at the cash register...if necessary also with pictures of the different ones Cakes that are currently available. The prices are absolutely fair, where can you still get an apple spritzer (0.5) for €2.8 on these expensive days... The hut is on the path of the Felsenpfad...but you can also use a very close hiking car park be reached. A definite thumbs up from me!!
