Even without snow (cross-country skiing starts here most days), it's a lovely place to linger.

The lake itself is inaccessible by road bike; the narrow wooden boardwalk is strictly for pedestrians. However, if you can park your bike for a short time, the detour there on foot is highly recommended; the lake is absolutely worth a visit.

A long wooden footbridge over the raised moor leads to the Bildensee; the bike can easily be pushed along the footbridge
