Highlight • Bridge

It's very romantic when you look at the wooden bridge from different angles and from different spots on the pond. It's a great photo opportunity, and of course, you have wonderful views of the pond from the bridge.

No, we didn't swim across the lake. After the delicious meal in the Oberschweinstiege, I just forgot to turn the tour back on. Later Komoot took the shortest route...through the water.

As always very nice at the Jacobiweiher. Today, exceptionally, there were few people out and about, but herons and turtles. Food in the Oberforsthaus is delicious!
