Above the fore-dam there is another bridge. These 2 bridges and the dam are the only ways to change sides in the area of the Aartalsee.

Opposite the organic farm, there's this fantastic view across the nature reserve of the Aartal reservoir. 19 hectares of water surface is quite a lot, as the many birds, some of them just passing through, have already noticed.
