An old street below the castle only appears when the water is absolutely low. For me it was used by anglers for camping.

Village Pond

Highlight • Lake

Very well maintained pond in the village. Located right at the bus stop. There are enough seats available, but none with a roof. But some are in the shade of the trees.
