    Hiking

    The Schöngrundsee is a 1943 created reservoir in a valley in the Franconian Switzerland between the Devil's Cave and Pottenstein. The lake has developed into a popular recreational area since the 1970s and offers, in addition to a snack with open-air seating, a pedal boat and rowing boat rental!

    Hiking

    A leisurely boat trip with a pedal boat on the Schöngrundsee in Weihersbachtal is always worth it. Framed by the mighty rocky backdrop of the valley, the idyllic location of the lake invites you to dream.

    At the kiosk you have the opportunity to quench your hunger and thirst with a wonderful view of Lake Schöngrundsee.

    Unfortunately, swimming and fishing are not permitted. There is a free parking lot directly at the lake.

    To experience a tour on the Wiesent by kayak or canoe and explore Franconian Switzerland, you will find a lot of information
