A beautiful spot in the Albersdorf forest. Dogs can have a lot of fun swimming here. The water is often clear and beautiful.

A very lovingly designed place with very nice employees who introduce young and old to the Stone Age and enthusiastically make Stone Age knives with children or show how the fields were dug back then.
