The lake district near Schwackenreute/Sauldorf is worth a visit at almost any time of year. There are several observation towers overlooking the extensive lake landscape and the surrounding nature is always wonderful. In summer there are also some people swimming here. Cycle paths in this area are very well signposted.

The Ablach and the lake district around the old gravel works are still original and in some parts very skilfully renaturalized.
