The lake district is ideal for swimming and boating. On the lake, you can enjoy peace and quiet and observe rare bird species. Truly worth it.

“Das Thomas” no longer exists. New tenant, but still nice little things and a great lakeside terrace. Significantly, it is now called “SalemSeebar”

This beautiful weather mushroom with three benches, which invite you to take a break with a beautiful view of the lake, is located directly on the beautiful Salemer See below the parking lot not far from the boathouse. Under the large umbrella you will also find good protection from sun, rain, snow and hail. This is exactly what the weather mushrooms were made for and this one serves its purpose well. A little further on at the playground is a twin brother of this specimen. You can find more interesting information about all weather mushrooms worldwide here: http://wetterpilze.de/Index.html
