A great place to refuel during a tour. German and Indian cuisine. The terrace offers a lovely view of the lake.

Lake Gedern is ideal for a family outing! Arriving early ensures good spots, especially in summer. There are shallow bathing areas for children, pedal boats, SUP boards and a nice playground. The adjacent campsite is perfect for longer stays. There are hiking and cycling trails around the lake through nature, which you should definitely respect. Barbecue and picnic areas make the day complete. P.S. Elvis Presley also used to like swimming here ;-)

Be careful. At major events, cyclists passing through are turned away. We spoke to the organizers of the Duck Meeting. They said we should explain at reception that there was still room for our small tent and that this had been discussed with them. On the second attempt, we were allowed to pay and stay overnight.
