    Tips

    The third pond in this pond complex was developed as a swimming pool from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century. Since most of the surrounding towns did not have their own swimming pools at that time, the Ebertshäuser Pond was particularly popular and actively used. Later, modern baths were built in neighboring towns and the Ebertshausen bath slowly fell into disrepair. The swimming pool pond was now used as fishing water.

    Today, swimming in the pond is no longer recommended.
