Great place to rest and relax. There is a restaurant "Seehaus Forelle" with trout farms and a kiosk on the sunbathing lawn by the lake (with delicious cakes and more). Great place to relax.

In the summer, a SunDowner event takes place here every two Wednesdays. It's a lovely way to watch the sun set over the lake while enjoying a bratwurst and a spritzer or a wheat beer.

The Steigerweiher (also called the upper Pfrimmweiher) is one of four Pfrimmweihers. The other Pfrimmweihers are (in the direction of flow): the Krebsweiher, the Mühlenweiher (lower Pfrimmweiher) and the Hetschmühlenweiher (with campsite/vinothecary). The Steigerweiher does NOT belong to any local community, but to the "Pfrimmweihergesellschaft", an association of around 40 members that was founded more than 150 years ago to protect the mills on the Pfrimm from drought through this large water reservoir.

I have no idea why the lower pond is really called the Steigerweiher. According to komoot, there is also Pfrimm 🤔
