Hiking

This is the smaller, more accessible lake that emerged after the basalt quarries near Forst were abandoned in the 1980s. Today it's a nature reserve, so you'd better avoid swimming here. It's definitely worth seeing.

Great location for a picnic in a quiet area with a fantastic view of the lake.
