Until the lake was completely fenced in, this place was a beautiful place, especially in the evenings, with a lovely holiday vibe. Now it's more like an enclosure.

Since 2023, the Hotel Schloss Hernstein has been run as a public hotel and is a popular wedding location. More on the history: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Hernstein

The "Achtersee" - also called "Achterlacke" - is a small gravel lake in the west of WN. It got its name from its shape, which it got from the merging of "Chrysanthemum Lake" and "Begonia Lake" and which is reminiscent of the number 8. Implementation as a bathing lake began in 2014 and the area was expanded into an urban recreation area. This was followed by the opening of the "Himmelblau" beach club with adjacent beach volleyball court and playground.
