This lake pavilion is located opposite the spa hotel and the Amsee clinic. A small jetty leads directly to it. There are several places to sit that invite you to linger. From here you have a beautiful view over the Tiefwarensee. For bathing enthusiasts there is even a jetty ladder!🏊♂️ There is a small free car park in the immediate vicinity and the Tiefwarensee observation tower is only a few hundred meters away from here.

Actually a hiking trail, the circular route can be done by bike. It's best if it hasn't rained heavily beforehand ;-)
