The Kreuzweiher is very idyllic in the forest. Next to it is the eponymous restaurant, which also offers a beer garden in summer. The restaurant is interesting for hikers, as well as for the guests of the neighboring campsite.

It was a nice cold @tour today. Which isn't such a bad thing because the paths are easy to walk on 👍👍. And since it gets dark a little earlier, it's also great to take in the atmosphere with the rising fog 😇😇
