The Blue Lake, to which the homonymous road leads, is a valuable natural monument and an attractive recreational area. In the north, a large contiguous forest area joins, in the south the valley of Angerbach.

The Blue Lake is not a natural body of water. Here was formerly the site of a limestone quarry, which filled after the termination of mining in 1932 with groundwater. Actually, there are two quarries: the smaller quarry was in the area of today's natural stage, the higher, dry arid area forms the open air stage; The "gray hole" was created in the lower part.

Much too small, not worth it, there is much, much more to see on the hiking trails, etc.
