After leaving a small pond on the right, after approx. another 160 m you approach the recording point at the main lake, which is on the left – i.e. towards the east. The photo spot point is directly on a massive park bench. When the sun rises behind the lake in autumn and spring, this lake with its reflections is an ideal place for special nature shots.
