The lake is easily circumnavigable on foot. There are good forest paths, and from Boltenmühle, a stretch of road. The Rottstiel Bridge is currently under construction, so you can only walk halfway around the lake, or if you're in good shape, you can also take in Lake Zermützsel.

Nice location. Even during a busy time, the service is good—if you can find a seat.
