Interesting mill - currently without wings

A nice campsite. But: the lake has lost about 2 meters of water. The beach, however, isn't so bad. There's pleasant sand for swimming.

Here you'll find the dry bed of what was once the connection between the two lakes. It's a rather sad and cautionary sight.

Nice place to linger with very good brewed coffee and homemade ice cream made from goat's milk

It's a shame the mill isn't being given wings, as it would have been a popular attraction and a magnet for tourists.

A few meters further on, in the Hullerbusch forest, there's a much nicer and more secluded rest area...without car traffic or roads. A natural bike rack is available!

The lake has lost about 1 m of water height, so the slide is closed
