Directions
The starting point of the trail is next to the trampoline park. From the youth hostel parking lot, head toward the lake. From there, the trail can be walked in both directions. Starting to the left, there is an option to turn off to the bathing area. There is also an accessible toilet there. Continue along the trail to reach an accessible fishing spot. There are barbecue facilities along the path. Follow the trail signs further and you will pass a jetty that allows closer access to the water. The trail continues along a small group of islands. Exploring these is possible via a non-accessible alternative. The path continues to small playgrounds and a refreshment stop. Then you proceed to the Roman villa and a playground with low-barrier play equipment. There is also an accessible toilet there. If you continue along the trail, you will soon return to the starting point.
Equipment
No special equipment required. The path is generally easy to walk on and is stroller- and wheelchair-friendly. It is sufficiently wide and has a gradient of more than 6% in just a few places (max. gradient 14% for less than 100 metres). This means that this trail is suitable for families, older guests or people with limited mobility.
