Lake Epplesee near Silberstreifen (Forchheim) near Karlsruhe is a popular, nationally renowned gravel pit lake, attracting large numbers of bathers and water sports enthusiasts due to its favorable wind conditions. Gravel is still mined at the lake today. The lake's name derives from the company of the same name, which installed Europe's most modern suction dredging system here and extracts gravel from a depth of 60 meters. Because the water level is far below ground level, high embankments rise behind the small beach.

The local painter Prof. Emil Wachter was keen to make his local church particularly beautiful, and he succeeded in doing so. Other works of his creativity include the funeral hall and small chapel at the cemetery in Neuburgweier. His simple grave can be visited right next to his chapel.
