Unfortunately, there's barely a clear view of the fenced-in area anymore – the surrounding trees block the view. A few buildings above the pond are still visible, but there's no sign of any habitable barrels.

A beautiful swimming pond on the upper reaches of the Zwettl and a good starting point for cycling tours (close to the B38)
