"Past the church always straight ahead." - would be the simple answer. I you want to take a nice walk to the lake, then this walk will be your best possibility. Start at the Tourist Information, turn right after the pharmacy and keep left. At the crossing Wildenhagerstraße turn right and pass the sports ground. After the sports ground keep left towards the little village Lohen (not Thern!). Follow the road and walk straight ahead towards "Palmsdorf". Then walk along the rails to the lake.
