Such lost places evoke ambivalent feelings. It's a pity that the terrain here is not used meaningfully, eerily beautiful to invent stories about the circumstances and food for thought: How do we want to shape and revitalize tourist regions in the future?

The rest area is located right by the lake, but unfortunately, thanks to the trees, there is very little view of the lake...

Lovely little beach... Perfect entry point not only for swimmers but also for canoeists or SUPs.

Directly above the Kellersee lake... the abandoned buildings are protected by a fence, which, however, has already been pushed down in many places...
