The Zelder family business breeds carp, tench, pike and zander in the ponds. You can taste the fish in the inn or in the fishermen's hermitage. The latter consists of a wooden hut with an adjoining beer garden. Unfortunately, the hermitage was closed when I arrived. If you enjoy paddling, you can also rent a rowing boat here.
