Hiking

The pond is a beautiful place in every season and there are benches at the front. It can be circumnavigated, partly directly on the bank and opposite through the forest.

Hiking

The bakehouse pond dates from the early days of the hunting lodge, it was already created by Georg I as a fish pond. Today it is a recreational area and biotope. A nice place for a little break.
