Cool bar! If you walk in you enter a bar. But if you walk a bit further through a small hallway you end up in another area where you can dance and party untill 4. Usually good music and a nice vibe.

Nice area to be in the nature. It's a 15 min bike ride from my place. In the forrest there's a great pancake restaurant with nice and green surroundings to sit in the sun. Also you can rent kayaks and canoes for cheap in that area.
