This is a nice picnic spot with a campfire possibility, if the wood is not too dry.

A bench as a covered swing is a nice idea. From here you also have a beautiful view of the lake.

On the loop around the lake, you don't often get to see the water. The terrain is heavily overgrown except for the north side. That's why you should take the swing for a break.

A great idea from the ADAC (German Automobile Club). Here you'll find an air pump and tools for minor repairs. According to the signage, there's even a bicycle breakdown service for members.

Some paths are very steep and bumpy, so you should be fit.
