Seeländerweg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The lakeside hiking trail is 1 km long and unfortunately has no significant connection to the water as the vegetation obscures the view.

There are many benches along the lakeside path, many of them shaded. The lakeside path doesn't offer a view of the lake because there's too much vegetation.

Here you'll find a bench overlooking the lake and a dog bathing area. The lake is also known as the 'Poor People's Lake'. Tip: Beautiful spot in the evening when the sun shines from behind the lake.
