A great romantic hotel with two enclosed lakes. One with a fountain. Lots of benches and a Kneipp pool. The signposted rose hiking trail also leads here to the wild roses from the rose garden in Zweibrücken

Idyllically located hut with a great, somewhat outdated, jetty. It's best to just enjoy looking and not entering!
