Here there are large sunbathing lawns directly on the Silbersee and entrances to cool off in the water. There are also changing facilities and a restaurant nearby to satisfy hunger pangs. Maybe you can find the treasure too. ;-)

https://donautal-touren.de/et4/p_100022015/ If you are looking for a unique natural spectacle, the Faiminger reservoir is the right place for you. Many rare bird species can be observed up close and undisturbed here. When long periods of frost cover the numerous lakes along the Danube valley with a solid layer of ice, the reservoir is hectically busy. Swimming birds gather in large flocks to survive the ice periods on the last open water surfaces. With a little luck, you will then spot a sea eagle hunting or hear the far-reaching call of the whooper swans. Let yourself be enchanted by nature! Swimming is strictly prohibited here!

Beautiful beer garden, but a short detour to the ice cream parlor is also worthwhile. (Ice2Go)
