The riverside trail is quite overgrown in places, but it's still a nice singletrack if you don't mind spiders. The small beach bathing spots along the way are very welcome in the summer! :)

Brilliant for cyclists. Free beach right on the bike path. There is also a kiosk truck from "Bratwurst Profi". Very nice sandy beach.

A snack truck on the beach invites you to take a leisurely break with a view of the lake. Currywurst, ice cream, cola and more are on offer.
