Nice walk around the lake.
Our favorite lake is well filled again after the renovation work in 2022 and is already well attended. Summer can come.🏊🏻‍♂️🐟👙🌞😊

March 7, 2024,Schweinfurter Oberland - Ellertshäuser Seeweg

Unfortunately, a short vacation in Franconia is over far too quickly. On the way home we planned at least one detour to the Ellertshausen quarry pond near Schweinfurt.

You wouldn't expect so much beautiful landscape behind the large industrial city 😉

Thanks to Komoot, I was able to roughly estimate whether I could complete the entire loop before dark 😊and yes, I did 👍🏼😃
I would have loved to spend more time there, to enjoy the sun loungers ☀️ and the very well-maintained …

A very beautiful and easy walk.

On nice days, the kiosk at the beach is open. Three large parking lots around the lake offer ample parking.

There's also a restaurant at the main parking lot.

In early summer, you should definitely take a dip in the lake.

The weather is supposed to get worse again in the next few days, so I persuaded my husband to go for a morning walk around Lake Ellerthausen. The delicate green of the now awakening nature is so good for the eyes and the soul. For the first time in a long time we are seeing the lake in all its …
