ローテンバーグa.d.フルダの湖・トップ20

A bench and seating area invite you to take a rest with a view of the lake in the middle of the village

In summer the kiosk is open and you can take a break with a view of the lake the adjacent parking space is heavily frequented by motorhome drivers

With the Breitenbacher See, a fairly large area of water is available for water sports. Campers will find nice pitches here. The kiosk offers a wide selection from bratwurst to ice cream and cool drinks. Hikers and cyclists can explore the area around the lake.

Nice detour in winter too

The lake is the landmark and at the same time gives its name to the town of Eltmannsee and also serves as an extinguishing pond. It does not have a natural inflow, but gets its water from the surface, which has repeatedly led to problems with algae infestation as a result of the last hot summers. A nice place to take a break, which is often used because you are "up" here and the rest of the tour, no matter which direction you choose, leads down.

A really great spot that we visited for the second time - unfortunately it was CLOSED on this weather-wise very nice day. 🥲 The entire Arial is highly recommended as a rest stop. 🔝

Magnificent facility and always kept in order over decades with many hours of work. Hopefully it stays that way....

Great starting point for many possible hiking trips or bike tours.
