    An artificially created, very idyllic pond in the middle of the forest (on the road from Helmbach to Iggelbach), which was created by damming the Kohlbach in 1970. Source: badeseen.rlp-umwelt.de/servlet/is/1155
    This small forest swimming lake is fed by the cold and crystal clear water of the Kohlbach. Its outflow flows into the Helmbach at the dam (on the street side).


    There is a long wooden walkway with benches, a large lawn and a nice kiosk with a small selection of restaurants. - Dogs are not allowed to swim here!

      Covered rest areas and a paddling pool.
      Unfortunately, it is not clear if and how often the water is cleaned or exchanged.

      When we were there, it was not particularly inviting. 🤢

        Here you walk between the water surface and the reeds. It offers beautiful views and you can watch waterfowl.

          The Kneipp basin is filled with water only in summer.

            Beautiful way over the water; even seating is available.

                Refreshing, healthy and something different.

                  Simple, idyllic pond! Pure nature.

                    Great area for swimming, for barbecues or just to relax.
                    In the warm months, a kiosk is also open.
                    Free parking is available and can be used as a starting point for hikes.

                      Is freely accessible again at your own risk, but the kiosk is still closed today.

                        When the outside temperature is 40 degrees, don't forget your bathing suit.

                        Water can get "warm" up to 20 degrees😉

                          Idyllic lake in the middle of the Palatinate Forest. Benches along the lake invite you to linger

                            That's really great, our hiking trail leads us onto the water. 😍

                              Beautiful natural bathing pond with kiosk, barbecue areas and Bohlenbrückle

                                The Kneipp basin is only filled in the summer for Kneipp.

                                    Idyllic natural bathing pond. Very nicely laid out. There is also a kiosk and plenty of benches to sit and relax.
