Crystal clear water that collects at this point to form a small lake. The rocks in the background, a beautiful sight.

I like the front part towards Hausen an der Lauchert very much because it is so swampy, wild and natural 👍

Very nicely landscaped lake with a kiosk. A path leads completely around the lake. There is a parking lot in the immediate vicinity. Numerous hikes and bike tours can be undertaken from here.
