Reservoir is always good, best to avoid in good weather, unfortunately it is completely overcrowded

From Happurg train station via Hersbruck to Lauf and back to the Happurg bathing lake (reservoir). With a coffee break in Lauf and a beer at the bathing lake restaurant. Highly recommended. Have fun.
