Highlight • Viewpoint

The lake itself sparkles beautifully turquoise when the sun is in the right position, but from time to time you come across special motifs that are worthy of a picture frame

Most of the route is away from traffic on well-maintained hiking and cycling trails – perfect for relaxing cycling and exploring. Along the way, numerous playgrounds, idyllic picnic areas, and inviting swimming pools invite you …
