The grounds are relatively spacious. I didn't see any infrastructure (restrooms, snack bars, etc.). The landscape is very beautiful!

If you have made it this far, you can continue to Fürstensee. There the parking lot is shady and the bathing area is also very nice with a bathing jetty and play equipment for children.
