The lake area features illuminated walking paths and cycling routes that connect visitors to regional monuments and historical wooden buildings nearby. These pathways shape how people experience the landscape and link the water to the broader heritage of the surrounding region.
The lake is popular with anglers who fish from piers and boats for species like bream, roach, pike, zander, crucian carp, and eel. The surrounding landscape offers pleasant views while you spend time on or near the water.
