The Canada goose and the reed warbler are mentioned on signs here as inhabitants of the reeds on a beautiful lake. You can walk around the lake. You will find some places to rest. The path on the old railway line is also very nice, starting here at the train station and leading over a wide arc around the city to the hill in the forest.

The path on the former railway line is awesome. Here a stream is crossed on the historic bridge. Across a meadow you come to the stream and there you will find an information board about its important task for the ecology and plant diversity here.
