Leisure facilities

edit

There was a campsite on the shores of the bathing lake and, since 1978, there has been a weekend village with 66 houses. Once a year the Westerwald Water Working Group holds a water work assessment for Newfoundland and Landseer dogs on land owned by the DLRG by the Seeweiher.[1]
