Beautiful place on the lake. There are two fire pits and a chopping block. Several access points to the water. The site is registered on Park4Night and is easily accessible by car via gravel roads. There is a fire pit right next to the car parking space, and the second is on the peninsula in front of it. We stayed overnight here and went on a day trip around the lake by bike. Many other tours are possible in the area.

A lovely bench with a barbecue by the water in an enchanting place. We didn't have coal or meat with us, but otherwise we could have lit the grill!

Child friendly with plenty of adventure and variety. Unfortunately, it is not a circular walk, so the same way back.
