Unfortunately, access to the quarry lake along the hiking trail is closed due to the danger of collapse. Swimming is therefore not permitted. However, the fence has already been torn down in some places. However, I would advise against entering.

Baggersee am Ortholz - unfortunately not accessible - but the edge is often walked on. Here you could easily build a viewing platform and rest area.

Nice place for a break! You can sit down briefly on a bench with a table at the clubhouse. If you ask friendly and it's business, there's also coffee and ice cream.
