Dennenloher Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Dennenloher See is definitely worth a visit in the summer, because it enchants not only with its location in beautiful nature, but also with the offer of activities on the lake and gastronomy.

Around the lake there is a beautiful forest that provides cool shade on hot days when cycling. On the lake itself, the large lawns on the shore invite you for a swim break, where you can relax in the grass and cool off in the fresh water. To satisfy the small or big hunger, there is a kiosk and several restaurants on the lake.

Limes Watch Post at Pfahlweg

Highlight • Historical Site

Excavations by the Imperial Limes Commission at the end of the 19th century uncovered this unusual structure at this site.

It is located on a well-developed cycle path, such as the Limes Cycle Route.

There is also a rest area with a bench and table under the shade of a tree.

South shore of Altmühlsee

There is a beautiful path around the lake, with information boards about environmental protection and the lake. Walking around it is an experience and a visit to the bird island is particularly recommended.

Altmühlsee

Highlight • Lake

The Altmühl flows around the Altmühlsee. In case of a flood, an introduction of Altmühlwasser takes place in the lake. The Altmühlsee serves as a buffer before the transfer to the Brombachsee. Because of the shallow valley, the lake is surrounded by an annular dam. The water level is thus up to 3 m above the surrounding terrain.
