Pond or lake? The water was dammed in 1452. The shallow bank is covered with trees and bushes, and you can only enter the water from the beach on the western bank.

A really great place, great sanitary facilities, modern and new. Very nice pitches with gravel, a great lake with a beach area. Owners very nice and attentive. You can feel very comfortable here. The local restaurant is very tasty and there is a great atmosphere in the winter garden, value for money is right 😃

There are a few but unfortunately not particularly big and if you have the "super Parker" on them then they are even smaller

Unfortunately, there are also new sections where we, you and I, ask ourselves whether we belong there. Many prolocars that are more expensive than a new villa

This path practically divides the lake pond... A meadow path leads past the campsite, which - depending on the season and care - is sometimes more or less overgrown, but it is always mobile... The bridge itself and the path before/after it is, is wide and drives well. Idyllic here 😍
