    Here you have a wonderful view of the Ellertshausen reservoir. Get off your bike calmly and enjoy it for a while.

      Todays use

      The lake is now used as a local recreation area. Large parts are open to swimming, diving, sailing and fishing. The remaining areas are created as biotopes and designated as nature reserves. Another use is as water retention to avoid flooding in spring when the snow melts and to feed the Sauerquellebach with enough water in the dry times in summer and autumn.

      With a total area of 33 hectares, the lake is the largest reservoir in Lower Franconia.[1] It is surrounded by forest all around. The circular route is 4.4 km long. Parts of the north shore of the lake have sunbathing areas, a sandy beach and bathing jetties.

      In 1983 and 2022 the lake was completely drained for renovation work. After a ground closure was built in 2022, the reservoir no longer needs to be completely emptied in the event of renovation work. The drain was closed again on September 22, 2022 and the filling of the lake with rainwater and snow is expected to be completed by spring 2024.
