To say the road itself isn't very pleasant to cycle on is a very, very, very mild way of putting it. For me, it was the worst section of the entire R1 EuroVelo route I'd cycled so far! But the castle and its grounds were truly impressive.

The lake is almost always used for angling, as fishing rights are legally granted to every body of surface water. Since this is accompanied by a duty of care in most German federal states, the aim is to maintain a near-natural fish population in gravel pits used for fishing through stocking[4]. Some lakes have beaches or are also set up for other types of water sports, particularly boating, water skiing, or windsurfing. Large parking areas, lifeguards, and restaurants are also set up for these uses. Some gravel pits are accessible by public transport. In some cases, the gravel pit is subsequently used for nature conservation, such as the two gravel pits in the Aitrach gravel pit nature reserve.
