A great shot ride is possible here. A dead straight stretch and before the curve it goes slightly uphill, which then helps when braking! Hammer!

Highlight • Castle

beautiful "Magic Place" beach in the immediate vicinity of the castle. Also suitable for small children (with parents), as the water is very shallow and warm.
