The Kaltenbachsee is a rafting lake from the past. It was created by the Enztal raftsmen in the 18th century and is a so-called surge lake. The dammed lake was formerly used to bring logs tied together to rafts down the valley and on via the Enz, Neckar and Rhine to their destination in the Netherlands. Today it is an idyllic lake that invites you to linger. There are two benches with a table right by the water. Nearby there is also a hut with another table and benches

Beautiful cottage right on the lake.
Ideal for resting and snacking.
The lake can be circumnavigated in about 15 minutes.
