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.

Near Basalt Lake, the trail is more enduro style, probably laid out, and is often used by people with poles.

It's a lot of fun

Ancient Chestnut Tree

Highlight • Natural Monument

How many years is the chestnut already old? Judging by the tribe, she has seen some cold winters. There are many chestnut trees all around, but this one really stands out.
