A hike around the lake is a good option. Unfortunately, the area is not dog-friendly.

The best way to see it is from a distance. The gate is closed and entering the castle garden is forbidden. It is also completely overgrown.

A really beautiful lake with swimming and recreational opportunities. There are lawns for sunbathing and there are also sanitary facilities and changing rooms. There is also a restaurant near the car park. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether it is worth recommending.
