The northern section was originally freely accessible. Due to the shallow water depth and excellent water quality, Lake Vahrn was also ideal for swimming. Since 2018, however, swimming, diving and fishing have been prohibited here, as there are numerous relics from the world wars at the bottom of the lake.
