This is an old gravel hole, now used as a nature reserve and part of it is bathing water.
In 2020, during the fire on the Meinweg, they fetched extinguishing water here with large helicopters and large water bags.

Swimming is only permitted on the campsite's own beach, Amici Beach. Day guests can also use this for €5.50 a day.

For me as a dog owner especially the section in the north with various beautiful bays and a small sandy beach is exciting. In the southern part of the lake, the campsite and Club Amici are fenced areas that block access to the lake.
