Beautiful and quiet lake with the possibility to go boating. According to sources, an early medieval farmstead was also lost in this paddling pond.

I have to praise the fact that we got a few more drinks at 5:20 p.m., although officially it was only open until 5 p.m. We found it not so great that the landlord only asked 2.50 euros for a small shot of lemonade (in the beer) - when asked whether she was serious, the boss in the background commented "OK - then 60 cents" .
