There were a lot of ducks (loud chattering) and swans on this lake. There is also a swimming pool (with a slide) here at the lake, as the lake is close to the Freilingen campsite. There is also a bench here that invites you to linger.

A dam that runs right between the Brinkenweiher and the Postweiher. Since the Brinkenweiher is a nature reserve, you can watch the many birds that have settled here from this location.
