Kinzigsee-Ruhlsee

There is a path between the two lakes so that you can circle each lake individually, if you want. While you can observe many waterfowl at the Ruhlsee in the bird sanctuary, the Kinzigsee offers itself for swimming in the summer. On hot days you can take a break at the beach, sunbathe on the sandy beach and hop into the cool water of the lake.The lido is open from the end of May until the end of August, from 9am to 9pm daily. Admission costs 4 euros for adults and 2.30 euros for young people. Children up to 5 years are free of charge.

Stop at the Surf Club on the western shore of the lake Self service snack Great atmosphere right on the lake

Attention: The path between the two lakes was almost impassable today (6/2/23). There were deep tractor tracks in many places, probably due to the fact that it had been very damp here for weeks beforehand. It is possible that these tractor gullies were created when the farmer mowed the field, because everything was covered with hay, so potholes and gullies were often only noticed when it was already too late to avoid them.

We recommend

Very nice location with a wonderful view of the lake. You can just come down here.
