Great idyllic pond... swimming and boating are forbidden... that's what it says on the sign... But you're allowed to linger and cycle

Such an idyllic pond! On the left bank is the former "Kahnhalle". It used to be used for rowing boat rentals, among other things, and is now a private weekend house. Source = Information board on site: https://www.ludwigswinkel.de/pdf/18-kahnhalle.pdf

This pond is a nice addition to any course. It is unique in the Vosges due to its peat bog on the west bank.
