A beautiful path leads all the way around Lower Franconia's largest lake. The lake is a great place for a break. You can grab a snack at the kiosk and, if the weather's nice, sit on the sandy beach.

Great restaurant with a view of the lake. The prices and portions are reasonable for today's times.

There is also a public service station between the parking lot and the restaurant (air pump, wrench, screwdriver, Allen key, ...) in case something rattles or the air is a bit low.

A hike around the lake is a good option. Unfortunately, the area is not dog-friendly.
