Hiking

In addition to the water sports activities on the lake such as swimming, water skiing, SUP and boat rentals, there are also sports and games on land. A circular path leads around the lake in the Ibratal and over the dam. The new fable path "Wupp die Kupp" begins at the Seepark Kirchheim car park. The R18 cycle path leads from Kirchheim to the Seepark.
The Seepark Kirchheim is home to the spiritual event center of the Bhakti Marga religious community with the Ashram Sri Vitthal Dham, a Hindu monastery. Meditation and yoga courses are offered.
