Beautiful lake. In summer partly well visited and expensive parking for cars. Therefore, travel by bike ideal.

It's a really good ride, there's a lovely view of the Alb on the way back, and it's a great way to relax. Mosquito repellent is recommended in the humid summer.

Even when it is really hot, it is very pleasant to drive. At weekends there is of course an increased traffic volume
