This is a regional favourite for a leisurely walk with the whole family. Beautiful rock formations, very picturesque woodland paths and, of course, the Schlupkothen – renowned for its clear blue water – ensure plenty of variety. The lake, which was used as a quarry until 1960, and its steep rock faces are under strict nature conservation – if you keep your eyes peeled, you can spot some rare animals, plants and bird species here. Dogs must be kept on a lead within the nature reserve.
