The Waldsee in Haslach im Kinzigtal is a popular destination for families, hikers, and seniors on the edge of the Black Forest. It is idyllically situated at the edge of the forest in the direction of Mühlenbach and is within a few minutes' walk of the historic old town of Haslach. Leisure & Fun: There is a well-maintained playground and a mini-golf course directly on the lake. Anglers can also purchase day tickets to fish in the lake. Gastronomy: The Waldsee-Terrasse restaurant, located directly on the shore, offers Baden cuisine, coffee specialties, and a large beer garden with a view of the lake.

There is no drinking water. I refilled my bottle anyway. It can't be that bad. And I also bought a Radler. I was a bit dehydrated.

The Kinzigtalradweg is one of the most popular and family-friendly cycle paths in the Black Forest. It runs for around 90 kilometers along the Kinzig river, from its source in Loßburg to its mouth in the Rhine near Kehl. As the route is constantly downhill, it is particularly energy-saving to cycle.

Around 1300, a Gothic church was built outside the city walls; until 1447, there is mention of a parish church "Our Lady". In 1451, due to lack of space, the new church of St. John was built; the late Gothic choir of the predecessor building was preserved.
