Hiking

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.

Hiking

UMoSSA - stands for Primeval World Mosaic Sculpture Path Swabian Alb - on the Eglensee there is the wave of the primeval sea on the left and the primeval fish on the right, guardian of ancient knowledge.

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.
