Large and beautiful lake in the Brenne nature park. Beautiful surroundings and lovely hiking trails with plenty of picnic tables for lunch, a lake for swimming or subboarding, a climbing park in the woods, and a restaurant. A wonderful spot!

Do not take the walk after a wet period. A large part of the paths is heavily flooded.
