In contrast to the other bathing areas, the bathing beach is taken care of by the DLRG and is thus also suitable for not so safe swimmers.

The reservoir is picturesquely nestled among trees and bushes. The tour around the reservoir is demanding. Sometimes it goes up and down a lot

Unfortunately, when I came by, the system was not in operation. The season will probably be over in the second half of September 😯

This lake is worth visiting. If you come with a motorhome, drive early enough as it is very busy. The lake is very nice to cycle around as well as the neighboring towns. Bread service on the pitch is highly recommended

A great area for relaxation and cycling. Once around the lake is about 7 kilometers and the path leads in the shade of trees. If you want to go further, you can follow the pre-dam in the direction of Braunsen, via Wetterburg in the direction of Bad Arolsen, via Kplte in the direction of Volkmarsen - the ice cream there is delicious - or in the direction of Herbsen and Welda to Warburg directly along the Diemel. The bike path is also great to ride.
