Berghauser bathing bay

Highlight • Beach

Great reservoir with bathing bays and many water sports or just sunbathing

1.34 km

Here you can relax and go into the water 💦 at the bathing spots and if necessary also rent a canoe 🛶. The excursion ship 🚢 makes a tour of the reservoir and back.
Some excursion restaurants offer the stop!

Himmelstreppe at Lake Hennesee

Very steep stairs leading from the valley side to the dam wall. You should bring a bit of fitness with you to climb up here! 😅

Hennesee Reservoir

One of the beautiful hiking trails is the A8 hiking trail. This leads 1x around the Hennesee and is worthwhile.
