It's a beautiful lake though. But we haven't been there for a while and everything has been completely rebuilt. Everything is now forbidden. In places where you could previously lie down, everything has been leveled and provided with stones and you are now only allowed to bathe in one place. It is relatively small and anyone who likes crowds and shouting will definitely feel at home there. A pity.

Quite nice place to relax. As of this writing in early June, be careful around the water where you step. Young frogs are everywhere. Very nice place where you can take great pictures. We have been here twice and it has a different flair in every season

This is a renatured gypsum quarry from the world-famous gypsum company Knauf, which is based in Iphofen. Various habitats were created in the former gypsum quarry. The still waters, spoil heaps and alternating wet areas created here offer a new home to a variety of plants and animals.
