Hiking

Small but nice, quiet place for a hiking break. Unfortunately not always open. On the map it looks as if you could go directly to the lake from here. This is not possible. Just follow the road towards the village and after one kilometer there is a garden gate on the left, which belongs to a small holiday complex. Through there you get to the hiker's car park and shortly afterwards to the lake.

Further into the gorge or first to the monastery?
I would do the convent later...

Nice monastery and worth a little hike. On the way there, however, there is little shade and is sometimes quite difficult in the usual heat.
