Lake Fridolfing was created as a quarry lake and is the result of gravel extraction on what is now the southern shore. The lake is therefore constantly growing and is used for sport fishing outside the bathing season and for curling and ice skating in winter.
On the nature trail, you not only walk around the beautiful lake, but also learn a great deal about the geology, flora and fauna of the region.
