There should be something for everyone here. The lake has a nice size for a walk with the family, a lap by bike or on foot in running shoes. With the Black Forest in the background, it offers an optimal backdrop. The lake is very easily accessible in Freiburg im Breisgau by tram. Also very feasible for wheelchair users or rollator users.

Very beautifully landscaped lake. Here in the small pavilion on the lake or on the benches around it you can unwind. The restaurant was only open for drinks today and was being rearranged. Normal operations resume from 6 p.m

The lake, which was created as a pond for Freiburg breweries, was also used for local recreation as early as 1880. The restaurant by the lake opened in 1883. The turbulent history of the place can be read on a plaque on the north side of the restaurant.
