Very nice small shoreline on Moderfitzsee. Ideal for a picnic.

The lake was first mentioned in a document in 1299 (stagnum Westwitz). In addition to 38 other named lakes, it was part of the original equipment of the Himmelpfort monastery.

Despite the heat, I dared to do the tour. However, I skipped the loop around Schmalen Luzin, partly because of the many climbs. I didn't find it unpleasant to cycle the same route there and back, as it went through beautiful scenery. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants in Carwitz and Feldberg.
