Avoid this place! The owner is very bumptious and not friendly to cyclists. We rode to the place only to be denied a table because he claimed they were full, while almost all of the tables on the terrace were free, only one was taken by other guests. A restaurant owner who cannot make room for two people arriving on bicycles and hungry, does not deserve the trust from the biking community.

In recent years, visiting this place has become a mixed bag. The food can be good, but it's not always guaranteed. The restaurant has changed hands frequently, and each owner tries something different. And that doesn't always work. But the good news is: coffee and a beachy vibe are always available in the summer.

I would simply call this place a fish pond :) But anyway - it's always great to take a walk around the beautiful pond.

Beautiful ponds. An easy circular trail. However, it's not wheelchair accessible. Accessible with strollers, but not with wheelchairs. Free parking is available.
