There is also a bench here at the memorial stone of the forester who was shot by poachers.

It takes a while, but then... one anthill after another, with thousands of ants in full activity. If you stand still too long, you'll have them all over your body ;) I've never seen anything like it.

Unfortunately, the lake shore is very overgrown. Here you can take a look at the water.

Not spectacular but I find the stories that form around natural sites interesting. And remnants from that long ago are always interesting.

If you want to see the lake well, you should do the tour when the trees are not in leaf 😊

Rest area with water treading pool and Riveris barefoot path. In October 2011, the local community of Riveris built this rest area as part of an international youth camp. The community project was implemented by the organization IGB (Internationale encounters in community services e.V.) in a fourteen-day assignment with young adults from France, the Czech Republic, Serbia, Korea, Ukraine, Germany, Russia, Turkey and Spain together with helpers from the region.
