A very nice hiking trail along the eastern shore. With beautiful views of the water and opportunities to walk along the water.

A beautiful spot and a lovely hiking trail. However, it's almost impossible to swim here anymore. The water level is about 2 meters too low. You can still reach the water. However, it's not a nice place to swim.

A nice campsite. But: the lake has lost about 2 meters of water. The beach, however, isn't so bad. There's pleasant sand for swimming.

The bridge also crosses the national border. Water no longer flows here. Too dry, rather a sad sight.

The bridge also crosses the national border. Water no longer flows here. The water levels have dropped too far. Sadly.

Unfortunately, there's no water flowing here anymore. Rather a sad sight, right on the state border.

Here you'll find the dry bed of what was once the connection between the two lakes. It's a rather sad and cautionary sight.

The lake has lost about 1 m of water height, so the slide is closed
