Idyllic little pond, but unfortunately, as some people have already mentioned, fenced. Although there is a beautiful one Seat. But unfortunately you look directly at the fairly close-meshed fence, which really disturbs the idyll.

A beautiful lake in a basalt quarry. There is a basalt park directly on the lake with many information boards about the various volcanic rocks (which are also on display), basalt mining and the flora and fauna around the lake. Entry to the park is free and so is parking nearby.
