Beautiful little village directly on the Dieksee lake with a ferry landing for a short boat trip and a nice place to stop for refreshments.

A beautiful, easy-to-walk path along the Dieksee lake... However, it's quite busy here... There are frequent beautiful views of the lake and the islands within it.
