Beautiful in every season and perfect for (leisure) cyclists and hikers. There is still potential in terms of gastronomy, but travelers usually have a backpack and provisions with them and nature and the journey are usually the goal:-)

Beautiful pond landscape directly on the Spreeradweg, so that plenty of free views are possible. If you are lucky, you can observe waterfowl extensively.

Here you can see the flood protection of the reservoir. Interesting location, also for children a place that you don't always see otherwise
