Idyllic lake, unfortunately not approved for swimming - former and partly still used gravel pit lake for gravel extraction with undeveloped shores. In summer, however, people do swim here in some hidden spots.

This stone cross dates back to a time when there was no GPS and everyone travelled on foot or in carriages. They were important for orientation and were therefore often erected on the main traffic routes.
