You'll be only too happy to linger here a little longer... and jump right into the lake with your cycling shorts on :) A small sandy beach, crystal-clear water, nature at its most beautiful. A wonderful spot!

Super quiet and cozy location. On a summer bike ride, you'll definitely find the cooling, shade and wonderful water you're looking for here :) A cozy shelter to sit under rounds off this bathing spot perfectly. It's just a shame that dogs aren't allowed in this beautiful place - otherwise I would definitely have come back again with the other person.
