Directions
The starting point of the trail is next to the trampoline park. From the youth hostel car park, walk in the direction of the lake.
From there, the path can be followed in both ways.
Starting to the left, you can turn off to the bathing area. There is also an accessible toilet there.
Continue along the path to reach a barrier-free fishing area. There are barbecue facilities next to the path. If you follow the signage, you will also pass a footbridge that allows you to get closer to the water.
Continue along a small group of islands. It is possible to explore this via a non-accessible alternative.
The path continues to small playgrounds and a refreshment stop.
The route now leads to the Roman villa and a playground with low-barrier playground equipment. There is also an accessible toilet there.
If you continue along the path, you will soon return to the starting point.
