The imposing dam of the Pöhl dam is a real highlight and impresses both from above and below 💪. When crossing it, a wide, almost endless view opens up over the lake, while on the other side the valley drops deep down – a great contrast!

In the meantime, a barrier-free, albeit quite steep, path has been created, so that the bike no longer has to be carried.

During the summer months (until the end of September), a small but charming café in the church park is open on Saturdays and Sundays between 2 and 5 p.m., weather permitting. It also serves delicious homemade cakes, fries, and other specialties – run entirely by volunteers.
