グリースハイムの湖・トップ20

Beautifully located, a certain brackishness gives it its charm. As a cyclist you should be careful, especially on weekends, there is a lot going on and both walks and one or two e-bike riders have not yet internalized the traffic rules and their validity on forest paths.

The Erlensee was originally a gravel pit. The gravel and sand extracted from the lake was mainly used for the construction of the motorways. After the end of gravel mining, the Erlensee was renatured. Today the lake is used for fish farming and as a leisure area. The Erlensee was named after the alders that grow on its shore.

Actually a great meeting point. But now everything is closed.

The lake has an idyllic location. At the kiosk there is a generous selection of drinks and small dishes.

very nice corner to sit by the lake

The Backhausteich belongs to the Jagdschloss Kranichstein and is a common sight

The Darmbach, which gave Darmstadt its name and feeds these five fish farming ponds, has its source very close by. All fish species that can be found in a lake live here and of course a few always hungry gray herons. Speaking of hungry: At the other end of the fish ponds is the "fisherman's hut". In the restaurant there you can let yourself be pampered by the friendly innkeepers.
