Lake Wölfersheim is the largest in the Wetterau Lake District. It was formed from a former open-cast lignite mine.

Such a facility is great. There should be more opportunities to charge your e-bike on the go.

Beautiful, well-maintained playground with swings, climbing frames, and a water feature. Kiosk nearby.

You can walk around the lake, although you won't see any water for part of the trail. However, there's a lot to do at Wölfersheimer See...a great playground, soccer golf, and soon, mini golf.
