The hiking trail along the western shore is highly recommended. You'll be treated to magnificent views across the water and, at times, of the castle. It's best combined with a hike to Einfeld and the Einfelder See lake, and through the Dosenmoor nature reserve.

There's a drinking water dispenser here. It's made of stainless steel; you could walk right past it. It was very useful today...

The route is not designed as a cycling route, and bicycles are prohibited in some areas. The majority of it is open only to bicycles, not e-bikes.
