A great place to rest, with a rustic hut and plenty of space and seating. There's also a fountain, and the still-young Steina River is just a few steps away. Also suitable for families. A special feature is the old iron signpost.

There's less hustle and bustle here than across the street. Very nice paths around the lake.

Very great trail. Passing a camping site that asks you to step off your bike while passing through. Even though cycling is allowed afterwards again, the hikers might be surprised to find you there.
