In the Tännig valley, east of Grafenrheinfeld, a small dune field is located in an extensive former mining area of Pleistocene drifting sand. Westerly winds deposited the sand in sheltered areas during the cold periods of the last 2.6 million years. The most striking dune is accessible via a hiking trail (Auenwaldweg) that runs directly past it. Two larger sand outcrops exist. The dune and its surroundings are under special protection as a protected landscape feature.

Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed. It's better to take a walk south of the lake. It's also interesting to see how many prohibition signs have been posted around the lake.
