Kieswäsch Lake is the ideal destination for those seeking relaxation just outside Kulmbach. Surrounded by meadows, the lake offers something for everyone: a level circular path invites you to stroll and hike. Those looking for more exercise will find excellent fitness equipment on a modern course. Large sunbathing lawns and a sandy beach at the lake create a true holiday atmosphere. For refreshments, there's a cozy beer garden right by the water.

So, for me, the ideal place for swimming and relaxing is quiet and largely deserted. But everyone has their own preferences. In any case, the operators have managed to bring a bit of a holiday feeling to the heart of Franconia.
