A nice, shady spot with seating. It's even possible to go around it, but beware: in shorts, it can definitely have a "circulation-boosting" effect, thanks to the nettles :)

A lap around this romantically located pond in the forest is always an experience. And afterwards, of course, to KOI for a coffee :) Perfect.

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.
