      Absolutely worth seeing, without tourists (due to corona) a wonderful place of rest

        The former basalt mine has become an idyllic piece of nature. Remnants of the old mining facilities are still preserved in the forest around the lake and impressively show the effort made

          A very nice refreshment can take our four-legged friends in the lake. A very idyllic place.

            The lake in the former basalt quarry is now an idyllic place with resting places and interesting views of the steep rock faces.

              It's a nice round. The lake is idyllically situated, has a nice rest area and if swimming is possible ..... wonderful 😄

                    Beautiful round trip for guests of the Röhn Park Hotel. Round to the right moderate and good with pram feasible. Complete round requires two strong persons to lead the Kiwa over smaller obstacles.
