    Hiking

    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.

    Hiking

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

    Hiking

    The circular path around the blue lake is absolutely unkempt and not recommended. It's a shame because the lake is quite nice and the natural stage with the children's theater is certainly a nice attraction.
