The two Egleen lakes are slightly elevated on the edge of the small village Gerstetten. In the shade of the big and old trees, you can really relax from your hike and enjoy the view of the Swabian Alb.

Cycling

The two lakes were once intended as swimming lakes. In winter, during periods of prolonged frost, you can even ice skate. Unfortunately, this is no longer possible thanks to global warming.
