A very beautiful, tranquil pond in the middle of the forest. A small bench for a break along the path and a short trail up the slope for a better view of the pond.

Quietly located in the middle of the forest. Also accessible for people with disabilities, as long as you can walk on gravel paths. Very quiet and a lovely place for everyone that you should definitely visit during a walk in the forest

Sinningen bathing lake, crystal clear and good for swimming or SUP. The kiosk right on the lake is also recommended! Often open from May to October, no matter what the weather (19°). There are cocktails, cold drinks and good food. Awesome lake with great service!
