The open bathing area has no infrastructure (such as toilets, changing rooms, bathing jetty, bathing island, benches, etc.) or supervisory services. It can be used free of charge during the day. The Restaurant "Seeterrassen" rents out pedal boats. More information can be found on the website of the Northeimer Bootsverleihs.
