Tips from the Community
The path is a bit bumpy without a full suspension bike and you share it with pedestrians; but with mutual consideration, it's easily manageable.

You wouldn't know it from looking at Lake Murn, but it used to be a brown coal mining area. The flooding of the former brown coal mines was caused by rising groundwater and took about twenty years. Today you can swim, dive and do other water sports in the 90 hectare lake. There are sunbathing lawns, a restaurant, the obligatory mini golf course and a campsite.

If you drive towards the church from the south, it is difficult to turn off before the market square because the square with its many opportunities to sit outside when the weather is nice invites you to take a break.
