Giant Chair Sculpture

The Illmensee is an absolute local recreation area. Many activities can be started from here. On the highest, in the Deggenhauser valley, in the Rottach valley, and much more.
Several good locations invite you to strengthen yourself.

There are also a few information boards with information about the lake.

This morning we went for a walk around Lake Illmen.

It was foggy at first. Halfway through the walk the sun came out.

It was so beautiful today.

So many more pictures, sorry. Had to be done.
