The lake is very difficult to access, even though it's only a few meters from the patrol road... therefore, it's very peaceful here.

Here the path runs along the former inner-German border... even today you can hike along it on the Green Belt... although very beautiful nature awaits on both sides, hiking on these bumpy concrete slabs is very arduous.
