If I'm not mistaken, it's the beach bar in Holzminden. But it's definitely a worthwhile (intermediate) destination.

The forest bathing area is a platform with seating and a view of the Hasselbach Valley. A beautiful, shady spot. 👍

A small half-timbered building serves as a rest stop. Even the witch's broom was there today. ☺️
