The Birkensee is not developed for tourism, but very popular with many Nuremberg residents. The quarry lake is located about 20 kilometers east of Nuremberg, between Schwaig and Diepersdorf (municipality of Leinburg).From the parking lot on the local road, you first have to take a 15-minute walk through the forest. Most swimming enthusiasts are located around the eastern part of the lake. Be it on the steep sandy slope, under trees that reach the shore or hidden in the tall grass on the south bank. Only from time to time does a sales stand provide snacks and drinks.
