The best swimming lakes in Rhineland Palatinate and Saarland

A beautiful lake.

The lake is really great but unfortunately quite crowded.
It is best to plan early in the morning or later in the evening

The kiosk at the Seehofweiher is located directly on this pretty little lake. Between the kiosk and the pond there is a very nice sunbathing area that can be used by anyone (dogs are not allowed). The kiosk offers coffee, cake and small warm snacks in addition to the classic items such as drinks, ice cream and sweets. Perfect place for a rest. Enjoy the nature!

Surrounded by the beautiful Palatinate Forest, the Gelterswoog is a pearl of a lake in the middle of nature. Here you can ride a great bike and swim in summer. On the northern shore of the lake, there is a beach that invites you to take a long break, whether to relax in the soft grass or to dive in the fresh lake water.

The bathing area is open in the summer from Tuesday to Sunday from 10 to 20 o'clock and on Mondays from 12 to 20 o'clock. Admission costs 3.50 euros for adults and 1.80 euros for children.

On hot summer days you can find the refreshment you need at the Eiswoog. The lake lies in a romantic forest, through which many shady paths lead. One of them leads around the lake for about three kilometers.

At the small forest lake there are also sunbathing lawns that invite you to relax and swim. Just hop in the water to refresh yourself, because the lake is a popular bathing lake.

For your physical well-being is also taken care of, right on the shore of the lake is namely a hotel with a cozy beer garden.

Surrounded by the beautiful landscape of the Westeifel, you can enjoy pure nature at the Meerfelder Maar while cycling. To rest, the natural swimming pool on the lake offers, which is open all year around the clock. There is a beautiful lawn where you can relax comfortably.

Prices for the sunbathing area:
If there is not much to do, you can use the lawn for free. On days with more visitors, the use of the lawn for adults costs 2 euros and for children 1 euro.

Not only in summer a highlight

We were totally thrilled by this small idyllic bathing pond.
There is a parking lot, playground, kiosk with beer garden, toilet and changing rooms and a non-swimmer area.
There is no lifeguard, but also no ticket booth here 😉👍!

Beautiful beach at the Hotel Darstein. In the summer very crowded with limited parking in the car park, for which fee is required. The lake is currently heavily polluted with aquatic plants. These are removed from time to time. So the bathing quality is very different. The water is good quality and is regularly controlled.

Nice bathing lake with supervision and kiosk

Outside the bathing season, the access to the lake is also closed. You can not get to him in the fall and winter months ...

A beautiful natural place, not touristy pulled up. Two nice people provide with Palatine food, cakes, ice cream, drinks. Perfect. The lake is cold, but wonderfully refreshing in the summer after a bike ride or a hike.

I'm happy when the season starts again
