The lake is located in a terminal moraine area with very steep slopes and was formed during the last ice age from a former meltwater channel that permanently filled with water after the ice receded. One side is used as a recreational area, the other leads through allotment gardens.

Just normal benches that are everywhere. For me, nothing special.

There are no trash cans, perhaps for the better. Besides the covered rest area, there are numerous benches nearby if it's occupied.

The shore is inaccessible here. There are many places with beautiful views of the lake. This one is not one of them.

This bench is located right on the main road. A terrible place for a bike break. I'll stick with that...not every bench, not every shelter, not every herd of cattle, sheep, duck, swan, etc., is a highlight 👍 Highlights are meant to be special. Anyone who creates a bench as the highlight of a bike ride should ask themselves what highlight they've ever had 🫣🙈
