Although it's right next to the hiking trail, this spot, with its bench, is actually a great place for hiking. You'll probably find peace and quiet anyway, as we were practically alone at the lake on our hike.

A very beautiful place; we've spent a lot of time here. The lake is actually called "Großer Pätschsee"! 😉

Anyone looking for a unique swimming experience is in the right place at this tree jumping facility. The creator of the tree spirits that so wonderfully characterize the hiking trail around the Großer Pätschsee lake tells us that the structure was created by locals. We, however, didn't have the courage to take the plunge and therefore can't share any safety information...🤔

The idea of the forest and tree spirits was initiated by the local local history society. At the end of our hike, we met the "Mother of the Tree Spirits," a super-nice lady who has been creating these figures in her free time for many years, helping the trail continue to grow. Awesome dedication!

We also used this spot for swimming. It actually offers a bit more space. The entry into the water is shallow, and the water is wonderfully clean. Both humans and dogs had a blast 😎

Here we not only discovered ghosts and a beautiful swimming area. We also saw a grass snake swimming along the shore of the lake.
