Idyllic spot on the edge of Kempten. Unfortunately there was a lot of algae in the water, probably due to the high temperatures.

Beautiful pond and good way to go there by bike. It is very good that there is a dixiklo there, which is also very clean. Especially on long tours, when you are on the road, you accept that gratefully.
