You can experience Lake Franziskus up close if you use the path that leads directly along the lake shore. A reed-covered shore and two small islands floating in the lake complete the idyllic setting.

Hiking

In good weather, it's a wonderful view and a good place to take a break on a longer walk. If you don't want to go around the outside, it's relatively steep from the upper to the lower path, so good shoes are essential. As with all Ville lakes, the circular path is very pleasant and also suitable for beginners.
