From this viewpoint, there is a beautiful view of the Riedsee lake and the surrounding landscape. Especially in calm weather, the water surface, together with the meadows and forests of the surroundings, appears pleasantly idyllic.

Soaking up the sun was my motto today. I parked at the swimming pool with my girlfriend and then went for a long walk around the lake. Unfortunately, a lot of people had the same idea, but it was still nice.

In beautiful autumn weather, we went for a short walk today around the small and large lakes of the Main floodplain near Oberau. The starting and finishing point was the free parking lot at the Aqua Riese swimming pool in Bad Staffelstein.
