    One of the few benches - if not the only one - stands in the shade of the trees by the forest lake. Here you can take a break and enjoy a wonderful view of the forest lake and in the distance of the amici beach.

      Beautiful views of the Effelder Waldsee are attractive in any weather.

          Swimming is only permitted on the campsite's own beach, Amici Beach. Day guests can also use this for €5.50 a day.

                  We also enjoyed a relaxing break at the lake overlooking the water. Even a few swimmers enjoyed themselves here on this rather cool Pentecost day.

                    You are not officially allowed to swim at the Effelder Waldsee. But you can go over to Amici Beach because swimming is allowed. You can also book other water attractions such as wakeboarding, etc. So take swimming gear with you.

                      There was a competition going on here, it was pretty noisy. Otherwise it is always very idyllic here.
