Here at the two small ponds you can expect quite tricky sand slopes. But be careful, the path is shared with hikers. You can even go for a swim in convenient places. Unfortunately, in addition to the former garbage dump, the lake area is increasingly being littered. A look behind the bushes and shrubs and the extent of it becomes really clear to you. That's a shame!
