From the terrace you have a beautiful view of the lake. The restaurant has a particularly good pasta selection. Since it is right next to the campsite, it is always busy. It's hard to get a spot on sunny days.

Beautiful circular route around Lake Murner - the flat route is also suitable for families with children. On the route - in addition to the nature trail boards - there is a viewing tower, the Kneipp facility, a barefoot nature trail, a small fitness course, and the Upper Palatinate Fairy Tale Garden. The route is 6.5 kilometers long and the hiking time is around 1.5 hours.
