ヴァイゼンハイムアムサンドの湖・トップ20

Great water quality, nice bathing beach. The beach bar with a tropical ambience is open (as of summer 2023) when the weather is good. The beautiful paths on the neighboring Altrhein offer a special nature experience.

This is the smaller, more accessible lake that emerged after the basalt quarries near Forst were abandoned in the 1980s. Today it's a nature reserve, so you'd better avoid swimming here. It's definitely worth seeing.

A highlight for big and small

In contrast to the (red) quarries in the middle of the Palatinate Forest, sandstone on the Haardt edge is white and yellow! Many of the inscriptions/pictures that can be found on the walls are explained on a beautiful information board and marked with red arrows on the walls of the quarry. Horse pictures are particularly easy to recognize. These rock paintings come from the Roman legionnaires who worked in the quarry here. Also carved into the stone: a large memorial plaque for the Bad Dürkheim soldiers who died in World War I and all their names.

The Ungeheuersee in the Leininger Sporn, part of the northeastern Palatinate Forest, is a shallow pond that is fed by the Krumbach. The lake has been protected as a natural monument since the 1930s. It has been listed in the official register since 1971 with the list number ND-7332-195.

A great destination. An old quarry and a small lake provide a great backdrop.

Beautiful lake in the forest, with ice cold water, as the name suggests. You can swim here in summer, but your four-legged friends are only allowed in certain months (nature and bird sanctuary). There is also a great fish farm and gastronomy. Some circular hiking trails start from there.

Lonely basalt lake, the detour is worth it. Saw a kingfisher today
