By far one of the most beautiful places to unwind. Enjoy nature, listen to and see the forest. Squirrels can be seen on almost every tree, ducks, birds, mushrooms, etc.

A wooden boardwalk has been built through the entire moor to put as little strain on the moor as possible. There are a few benches on the path where you can take a rest.

The mountain lake near Triberg in the Black Forest dates back to the Ice Ages. It is one of the few natural lakes in the Middle Black Forest. According to an information board on the lakeshore, the Triberg mountain lake is considered a glacial niche from the Riss Ice Age because of its circular shape, the steep circus-like slopes and its opening to the northeast. The heights around Triberg had their own glaciation during the Riss Ice Age. The snow line was 700 m above sea level.
