When I still lived in Jettingen (2020), I was often there. Great swimming lake. Also beautiful to look at in winter when everything is frozen. Nice memory. :)

You won't see so many stork nests in one place anywhere else. Watching the storks here is a joy, especially when young storks are being raised in all the nests.
