レニンゲンの湖・トップ20

A wide dam between the Neuer See and Bärensee lakes, from which a small footpath leads up to the Bärenschlössle (little castle). From here, you have excellent views of both lakes.

A crossing point between the centrally located Neuer See and the Pfaffensee. At the dam, there is a gated access point with a view of the lake, marked with the year 1930.

Press release from May 22, 2024: This year, the Bärensee will remain without water. That was the case last year, but the city had promised that the lake would be refilled this spring. But now it's official: The lake will remain empty this year as well. The work on the dam and the outlet is more difficult than expected and is taking longer!

The Bärenschlössle and the surrounding area are worth a visit at any time of year. It is more pleasant there during the week, as there are a lot of visitors at the weekend. The daily lunch menu is available at the Bärenschlössle from 12.30 p.m. Good value for money. Very tasty food on offer. Large selection of cakes.

Great view over the lake

Beautiful park/forest with old trees and places to rest or stop for refreshments.

is currently being tested for stability

One of the three lakes is Bärensee, which is a reservoir. By order of Duke Christoph, the Pfaffensee was artificially dammed in 1566 to supply drinking water, followed by the Bärensee 50 years later and the Neuer See then 200 years later.
