The Forstsee lake is largely untouched and can be freely used for swimming. Apart from a few facilities, there are no significant buildings or structures. A hiking trail runs around the lake, and on the western shore is a listed section of an ancient road.

A very beautiful, quiet path. And it's even a listed historical monument, because an ancient road used to run along here.
