The water is very clear, so you can even see the deep-swimming fish. Park benches are perfect for taking a short break and relaxing by the lake.

The view of the Lower Bluntausee is impressive because the water is crystal clear! You can see the fish in the water and the ducks seem to float on the surface. The deeper the water gets, the greener it shimmers. Simply amazing!
