A lovingly designed recreation area by the pond. New wooden railings by the pond, high enough. New benches to rest on and enjoy the view of the pond. The large carp often swim on the surface, so you can watch them. On the other side of the dam, a small pond has been set up for the amphibians. A small paradise has been created here.

The north side of the mountain lake is wonderfully idyllic and close to nature. If you want, you will find the restaurant and the boat rental on the south side.
