The Waldsee Terraces restaurant is highly recommended. Our food was delicious/good, as was the ambiance and surroundings. We went there twice and were never disappointed. We highly recommend the restaurant and its food!

There is good parking at the Waldsee car park. A ten-minute walk takes you to the lake where you will be greeted by the many ducks.

Beautiful hiking area. Great infrastructure for hikers and mountain bikers. The Black Forest and in particular the Ortenau district are very varied. Since I don't take a photo of every bench or bush along the way, I'll include a photo collage of my photos from the region.
