The shore is lined with trees, sculptures, and cafés that invite you to linger. The view over the lake is particularly impressive, with the waters reflecting picturesquely in the Maschteich pond when the water is calm ✨.

Nice smooth asphalt - I would recommend checking whether H96 has a home game - it can get quite crowded

The full closure is presumably due to this accident: https://www.nonstopnews.de/suche/text/?page=meldung&newsnr=46933 Hopefully, the repairs won't take as long again.
