An unreal landscape. If you don't read the sign 'Overgrown Lake', you might easily get the impression that you are walking past a normal meadow.

You can buy walnuts in the small sales shelf there (depending on the season). Opposite was a small stall selling wooden torches. On the right side in the direction of Laubbach there is another beautifully landscaped pond.
