From the terrace you have a beautiful view of the lake. The restaurant has a particularly good pasta selection. Since it is right next to the campsite, it is always busy. It's hard to get a spot on sunny days.

Very nice, interesting and easy-to-drive circular route around Lake Murner. Many well-made information boards, a barefoot path, the tertiary forest and the observation tower are, among other things, the highlights on the circuit. There is always a beautiful view over the lake and the adjacent ponds.
