In 1892, the spa park, a truly unique gem, was created by landscape gardener Franz Erban. The artificial section with the "Lenau Island," the shady, winding park paths, and, above all, the pavilion built in 1903, have made the park a popular meeting place for Reichenau's summer society.

Nice pond - SUPs can be rented in summer. Single trail starts further up at the Almrauschhütte and leads directly past the lake. Flowtrail starts directly under the lake.
