At the beginning of the fish ponds there is a small parking lot where we parked our car. That's why we wanted a circular route, which unfortunately wasn't possible directly at the ponds. So we went back across the street, which was still very nice with little traffic and a nice view. Next time we will extend the route into the adjacent nature reserve.

Great swimming lake, even with sanitary facilities. Parking for cars €1.80. Unfortunately, swimming has been banned since the beginning of September 2023 due to blue-green algae.
