The Grabauer See invites you to stop for a break. It is possible to cycle around the lake on relatively good paths in some sections.

On the last tour you could watch the swans eating! That was interesting. It's good that we had our telescope with us.

From this wooden house you have a fantastic view over the lake. With luck, you can see some water birds here.
