Around the lake there is a hiking path of about 20 km (12 mi) length; at its southern part, it converges with the famous Camino de Santiago (Austrian route).[1] There are two campsite resorts. It is allowed to swim and bath.
The northern shore consists of bogland since 1883 and is called Wenger Moor.[2]
