Nice bathing lake with a large sunbathing area on the southern bank. Also called Birkenwaldsee. Very close to the Alte Elz, which is worth a bike tour or a canoe tour!
A beautiful bathing opportunity in clear water that shines blue in the sun. The ongoing dredging operation on the opposite bank does not bother too much.
