Hiking

The only crater lake north of the Alps. Beautifully situated. Not just for geology enthusiasts.

Absolutely impressive - when I was there, the crater lake was frozen with a thin layer of ice and was idyllic. However, I would like to go back here in spring/summer to discover the local flora and fauna... because according to the information board there is a lot to observe here. 😊
