Lake Saldenburger See is a true gem in the Bavarian Forest – a small but beautiful adventure lake that charmingly combines tranquility, play, and the enjoyment of nature. With approximately 5,000 m² of water, a maximum depth of 2.5 to 3 meters, and a lovingly landscaped setting, it is especially popular with families and hikers.

What makes the lake special are its features:

A zip line to the island inspires a sense of adventure.

A beached pirate ship invites children to let off steam.

A jetty with a platform, sundeck, and lawns offer space for relaxation.

A beach volleyball court, changing rooms, and restrooms round out the offerings.

Access is free, and the water quality is regularly checked –
ideal for hot summer days or spontaneous excursions.

Anglers also get their money's worth: With day tickets (May–September), you can fish for brown trout, tench, or char from the shore – although there are closed seasons and catch limits. In winter, weather permitting, the lake transforms
into a curling rink, complete with rentals.

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Dreiburgenland region, with a view of Saldenburg Castle,
the lake is idyllically situated between meadows and forests. The Weiherstraße road leads directly to the parking lot – and from there, it's just a few steps to the water.
