Beautiful winter landscape in the local recreation area; caution with children, do not let them go onto the ice, there is a risk of breaking through!

The Kiental valley is beautiful and very shady. However, I would avoid cycling there on weekends, as many pedestrians use this path.

You're really stuck for a moment...but it's easy to walk/ride through. The gate opens inward and is designed specifically for cyclists passing through.
