Beautiful beach with a snack bar and plenty of benches. Judging by the parking, it seems to be quite busy in good weather.

In summer, wild sunbathing and swimming. Parts of the lake shore near the village are covered with sand and therefore very popular with children. During the other seasons, it is rather quiet and contemplative with many species of birds and very few people. The Ditfurter See is a great destination for a bike ride with children - the kids can cycle and then cool off in the lake and / or have a picnic on the shore before heading back home.
