The origin of the name "Biet" is unknown, but everyone in the village knows this only open expanse of water in the local area. The beginning of the Hettenbach used to be here

Great little mountain lake. Actually, you are no longer allowed to swim here, but when the weather is nice there are always people here to swim and sunbathe
