    The Birkensee is a recreational area and belongs to the city Röthenbach. It consists of the Great Birkensee and the Kleiner Birkensee. Both bodies of water are fed by the groundwater of the Röthenbach stream, which flows into the Pegnitz in the town of Röthenbach.

    In summer to cool off and sunbathe (with nudist area).
    Bathing is not explicitly prohibited, but it is pointed out that carcinogenic substances have been found in the water.
    Background noise from two nearby highways is hard to miss in the south and west winds.

    Cycling

    The Great Birkensee with its wooded banks is beautiful. There are lawns between the trees where you can relax comfortably. Nothing stands in the way of jumping into the water to cool off and take a swim. It is safe to swim in the Birkensee again because there is no longer any risk of bathing due to stress. However, swallowing water while swimming and bathing should be avoided. You can find current information here: landkreis.nuernberger-land.de/index.php?id=1993.
