Small but fine oasis of calm right on the bike path - with loungers, shelter, picnic tables and 2 small ponds.

Komoot suggested a path to the fish pond and then further to the asphalt path behind it. But in between there is a small dirty stream over which there is no bridge. The way to the fish pond is therefore at least currently a dead end.
