Beautiful local recreation area, with the Paulinensee having its own charm in every season. Especially in autumn, the colorful trees are beautifully reflected on the mostly smooth water surface. Various seating areas are available, and several hiking trails also pass by here (including the Mönsheimer Gipfeltour).

The Paulinensee is probably the most popular local recreation area in the area. Not only for the locals but also for foreigners. Both the outdoor pool and the football field attract young and old alike on days off. Many beautiful paths offer visitors the opportunity to take a leisurely walk or a long hiking tour. The benches along the paths invite you to rest and linger, and the barbecue area by the lake is ideal for a longer break. The 5 kilometer long forest nature trail is particularly suitable for jogging or walking. Even in winter it won't be boring at Paulinensee, because then you can go on a great sleigh ride on the forest nature trail and then race down the meadow slope behind the outdoor pool.

The Aalkistensee nature reserve extends over the entire surface of the lake and beyond. The area stretches east along the Salzach to the federal highway 35; in the south to the railway line of the Westbahn. The 50.5 hectare area (protected area number 2,042) was placed under protection by decree of December 21, 1979 and is assigned to the natural area of the Kraichgau and Stromberg-Heuchelberg. The conservation of the lake with the various wetlands and hillside zones surrounding it in their uniqueness, diversity and beauty was named as an essential protective purpose, whereby the worthiness of protection, in addition to the supra-regional importance as a breeding and resting place for birds and as amphibian spawning waters, is based on the importance of the area as a Habitat of species-rich plant and animal communities and the importance of the lake as the location of large reed beds, in its shore area as a growth site for endangered plant species such as tambourine and marsh groundsel.

The Cistercians built the monastery in the immediate vicinity of the Salzach springs. They dammed the watercourse east of the monastery with a dam to the deep lake.

Margrave Karl Wilhelm von Baden had this fish pond created. A path leads once around the lake and is a good option for a digestive walk after a stop.

About the Seehaus Pforzheim The Landgasthof Seehaus is a restaurant with a long tradition in the south-eastern forest of Pforzheim. The story goes back to 1731, when the founder of the city of Karlsruhe, Margrave Karl Wilhelm von Baden, had today's Seehaus Lake created as a fish pond.

Beautifully landscaped lake with a circular path and seating. The lake serves as a flood retention basin. In the meantime, the lake in the Enzkreis district has become a popular destination and is well visited on weekends.
