You can also go fishing or cycling, for example, or you can row a rowing boat with the whole family to a nearby island where you can have a picnic, as you can rent the necessary equipment from us for all of them (including life jackets for children).

Winter sports equipment
In winter, children also enjoy going sledding if the snow conditions only allow the sledding hill to be built from snow. In winter you can borrow sledding equipment and a kicksled.
We also borrow skis, ski boots and poles for free, as long as you notify us in advance what size ski equipment you need. There are a limited number of sizes.
You can also try skiing and ice skating on the lake ice when the ice situation allows.
