Tips from the Community
Today, while swimming there, I was friendly but firmly informed that the natural swimming pool is not public, but rather private property with swimming permission for local residents. As a passing cyclist, you are explicitly not welcome here - even if there is currently no sign informing about this circumstance.

The Welden Ponds were created over 300 years ago and are part of the protected landscape areas in the Landsberg am Lech district. These are ideal for swimming, often very quiet, and offer various hiking options. The largest pond has a restaurant and a large parking lot.
