    What a beautiful spot, especially at sunset. Recently, there have been strict controls to ensure that the bathing ban is being observed. It used to be really busy here. Campers from the fishing club, people seeking peace and quiet, or sun-seekers can all find a place here. The lake is worth a visit at any time of year.

    You can enjoy the view of the lake from up here at any time of year, especially at sunset.

    Water+ 🌞 sun = sunset by the water = beautiful😊. So you can always photograph great sunsets near reservoirs. The view goes to the same mountains or the Veste Heldburg. Look at the pictures. The bathing ban has recently been checked at the lake, be careful ☝🏻.
