The beach, which is accessible from all points via the circular path, is partly natural and partly prepared for bathing with sports and games. In many places, small steps have been newly created from the circular path down to the water, and there are many fishing spots and benches with a view.

There's a covered picnic area next to the church. Unfortunately, the church was closed.

Extensive redesign and renovation work has been carried out at the Papiermühlenwehr barbecue and rest area. The idyllic location directly on the Sprotte River is a popular rest stop for many hikers and cyclists. The barbecue grill, which was deliberately destroyed a few years ago, has been replaced with a new outdoor grill, and a bicycle parking facility has been built. Let's hope the area doesn't fall victim to vandalism again.
