There were a lot of ducks (loud chattering) and swans on this lake. There is also a swimming pool (with a slide) here at the lake, as the lake is close to the Freilingen campsite. There is also a bench here that invites you to linger.

This is not the Brinkenweiher, but the Postweiher. A beautiful path leads through the forest along the shore.
