Monument for Steckschachtsperranlage

Highlight • Monument

The shaft barrier near Gunzenhausen was in the Altmühl barrier line. It was made necessary by the construction of the Altmühlsee, which, in conjunction with the Brombach reservoir, was intended to improve the water management situation in Franconia. The facility, built in 1984 with the object number WUG-0010, is located in the southern abutment of the Altmühlsee outlet structure. It consists of 25 80 cm deep and 40 cm wide plug-in shafts embedded with the same surface in a 1 m thick concrete slab.

Altmühlsee Adventure Playground

Highlight • Rest Area

The playground is almost a small adventure park. Definitely take swimming trunks for the little ones, because the children are here on the playground experience also very much in the water, which is ingeniously integrated into the playground.

A good place to stop for a bite to eat, either hot meals or just snacks and drinks. A lovely outdoor terrace. Rental stations for various sports activities.
