The Igelsbachsee and the somewhat larger Kleine Brombachsee are the two barrages of the Großer Brombachsee in the Bavarian Middle Franconia in the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district. The reservoir is named after the Igelsbach flowing to it in the northwest. Another tributary is the Gänsbach. It is dammed up by a dam in the southeast. The level of the lake fluctuates only slightly; the target is 411 m above sea level NN and the deepest areas of the lake are between 399 m above sea level. NN and 400 m above sea level NN. The water from the Igelbachsee flows into the Großer Brombachsee, where the target is 410.5 m above sea level. NN and the lowering target to 403.5 m above sea level.

View of Igelsbachsee and Enderndorf

Highlight • Viewpoint

One of the quieter spots on the lakes. In the morning shortly after sunrise, however, you have the paths almost to yourself.

Igelsbach Lake

Highlight • Lake

The Igelsbachsee is a branch of the Bromb axis, which is long and nestled into the Spalter hill country. While the north-western part of the lake is under nature protection, you can practice various activities such as boating or swimming in the rest of the lake. There is a bathing beach with a sunbathing area and kiosk.

The area also has a lot to offer outside of the water. A 6.5-kilometer path leads around the lake, which you can either walk or ride a bike. If you need even more action, you can try your luck in a climbing park.

It's nice that the parking is free in winter. However, there are very few toilets open and depending on where you are, it can be difficult to find a place to stop for refreshments. Nevertheless, it was a nice tour.
