The kiosk with the beer garden is really great and top-managed, view 1A! The lake unfortunately has a problem, it's not 1.5m deep, very muddy and then there are also many water plants that interfere with swimming. So unfortunately unsuitable for real swimmers! Advantage it warms up very quickly, in midsummer probably then only a "warm broth".

A nice, shaded playground with a water pump. Unfortunately, the swimming area is paved with sharp gravel instead of sand, so water shoes are recommended.

A stop at the "Waldsee-Stubn" is highly recommended. Beautiful view of the lake from the terrace. Good food. What more could you want?
