Well, it's not really a lake, but it's still a nice (cool in summer) place in the forest where you can linger and rest for a moment. But don't expect too much 😉.

Very nice bathing lake. On the opposite side of the bike path there is a small 'beach' and swimming is still possible. Good refreshment in the summer when it's really hot. 🏖️

Actually, we only liked the Kolbensee because of the reflection of the bush and that's the only reason we took a (slightly longer) break there.. But there were no seats
