Next to the lake is a water pedal boat area. Highly recommended.

The headings ‘Bicycle’ and even more so ‘Mountain bike’ unfortunately do not fit this route at all. I have been riding here every morning for a few months: The path is intensively used by dog owners. When you rush past the owners as a mountain biker, it understandably causes a lot of anger and frustration. This is the wrong route for a sporty MTB tour. My tip for the evening: I ride here in the morning to commute, but in the evening I prefer to detour via Degerloch to the Woodpecker Trail – you can really let loose there.
