Hotel Seeblick, Seepark Kirchheim

Highlight • Lake

At the end of November 2020, the Seepark Hotel in Kirchheim was sold to the religious community "Bhakti Marga," which plans to establish its Hindu Germany Center there. The coronavirus pandemic had severely impacted the hotel; without the sale, it would have gone bankrupt. The waterski facility and swimming facilities at the lake remained in operation.

Lake at Seepark Kirchheim

Highlight • Lake

The dam in the Ibra Valley (Ibra Reservoir), built in 1974 for flood protection, is also used for leisure and recreation. Kirchheim Lake Park offers campsites, holiday homes, waterskiing facilities, beach volleyball courts, and other sports facilities, as well as a conference hotel. The 8.4-hectare, up to eight-meter-deep bathing lake is visited by an average of around 60 bathers per day; during peak season, the number can rise to 300.

Dam break memorial stone

Highlight • Monument

This memorial stone, inscribed "1977," commemorates a catastrophe: The seven-and-a-half-meter-high and 130-meter-long dam, built in 1974, burst during a storm on August 22, 1977, at 3:25 p.m. The floodwaters from the Ibra reservoir, 500,000 cubic meters of water, poured into the valley of the Ibra and Aula rivers in a flood wave up to three meters high. The towns of Reimboldshausen, Gershausen, Kirchheim, Kleba, Hattenbach, and Niederaula were particularly hard hit. Streets and cellars were flooded and covered in mud, and the Knüllwaldbahn railway line was washed out. Some livestock drowned, but no one was injured. The total damage amounted to thirty million marks. The dam was rebuilt in 1979.

Sri Vitthal Dham Spiritual Center

Highlight • Religious Site

The "Sri Vitthal Dham Mandir" ashram advertises itself as a place for encounters with the divine and with people who are also on the spiritual path. Inaugurated in 2023, the temple offers a place to switch off from everyday life and engage with the language of the heart. The Ibra Reservoir is a "Holy Lake" for the religious community and has been renamed "Chandrabhaga Lake." The "Ranganath Beach Café" also invites hikers with less spiritual inclinations to a relaxing stop, offering vegan options.
