Highlight • Lake

The more than three-kilometer-long Rangenbach River feeds a series of pretty fish ponds here before flowing into the Hörsel River near Stedtfeld. Even without a fishing rod, it's a lovely place to linger.

GPS has always stopped so the total time is only half an hour.
We were about 2.5 hours on the road
