Directly on the lake, the name giver and landmark of the small village of Eltmannsee, there is a nice little rest area under the mighty linden tree. Unfortunately, there is always the problem of increased algae formation, since the lake is only fed by surface water. The place was first mentioned in a document from Cornberg Abbey in 1278, but fell deserted in the centuries that followed and was only resettled in the middle of the 16th century.

The lake is the landmark and at the same time gives its name to the town of Eltmannsee and also serves as an extinguishing pond.
It does not have a natural inflow, but gets its water from the surface, which has repeatedly led to problems with algae infestation as a result of the last hot summers.
A nice place to take a break, which is often used because you are "up" here and the rest of the tour, no matter which direction you choose, leads down.
