Ottenstein Lake Restaurant & Boat Rental

22.04.2019 - A breakfast on the SonnenTerrasse and then a leisurely day trip in the extensive lake landscape, highly recommended.

Nearby you can also visit the power plant and castle Ottenstein, as well as the gardens of the project Ökokreis.

Swimming area with floating platform at Ottenstein Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

22.04.2019 - In summer, the lake is ideal for swimming. Small bays with floating islands (here in blue) can be used as a bathing place. The bathing area here even has a spiral locker room and a safe staircase into the reservoir, now it just needs to get warm 👙☀🌤.
