Treading water once in a while is good. The next water-treading spot is near Schwiesau, by which time your feet will be warm again and ready for another run. ;)

Very nicely done, a good place for a rest. "The water treading area is located in a terminal moraine landscape. There are unusual differences in height of around 130 meters here. This made it the ideal place to dam up part of the Bäke for water treading. The treading area is the ideal destination thanks to a covered seating area. The wind-protected area offers a fantastic view over the reservoir.

A beautiful rest area, prepared with a lot of effort. When the weather is nice it is well attended and filled with cars. However, the water treading area is only suitable for washing feet rather than treading water

Next to the water treading area is a very lovingly designed and well-kept rest area with a small pavilion, you just have to stop and linger.

Nice place to sleep in the middle of the forest. Spring unfortunately already almost dry in June. Lake for swimming scarce 1.5 km away.
