To us, a mill pond like the one presented to the biker here may seem very ordinary, but in the fantasy world of someone like Otfried Preußler (1923 to 2013), who became famous with the children's books he wrote, things look very different: It is also the habitat of a water sprite family, and his book "The Little Water Sprite", which is still popular today, tells of the adventures that the family's offspring experience in the mill pond. The "Stiftung Lesen" reviews it: "The water sprite invited twenty-seven relatives - and twenty-six came. Twelve water sprites with their wives, a well man and the bridge woman from St. Nepomuk's Bridge! And they all accepted the invitation because they want to see the little water sprite that the water sprite dad is so proud of. And he can be - because the cheeky little shirt-faced boy can already swim, barely having been born. And he learns everything else faster than his worried parents would like. His friend, the cautious carp Cyprinus, can sometimes only wiggle his fins... The children's book classic from 1956 has already enchanted generations of readers, who can then pass on their own childhood memories as well as the fantastic adventures of the little water sprite when reading aloud to children aged around 5 and above."

Sinningen bathing lake, crystal clear and good for swimming or SUP. The kiosk right on the lake is also recommended! Often open from May to October, no matter what the weather (19°). There are cocktails, cold drinks and good food. Awesome lake with great service!
