A nice parking lot by the lake, we will spend one night here. It looks like it will be a quiet night. Unlike the other parking lots by this lake, this one is far enough away from the road.

In Denmark there are official campfire sites in many places, here at the lake, for example, you can grill fresh fish directly with friends. Of course, the German translation of the information board is particularly great.

This shelter is a little quieter and more hidden than the other on the lake. Sleep like in a hobbit house! Nothing for tall people.
