Swimming-spot at the river. Very crowded on summer-weekends. Mostly young people. Walk up towards the lake and let yourself float with the current. Current is not so strong, also okay for not so confident swimmers. Most of the time there is also a slack-line at the next bridge upwards the stream. Water is always a bit colder than the lake.
There is also a little bar and the offer fast-food. Sometimes DJs in the evening.
