Forchtenstein Reservoir
Highlight • Lake
Families with children get their money's worth here! 15,000 m² of water surface invite you to cool off and relax. The reservoir is very shallow at the beginning, so that it is also suitable for families with small children. A diving tower and a 50m long water slide ensure pure water fun as well as swimming. A children's playground, which is well equipped, a table tennis table and 2 beach volleyball courts complete the offer.
Last but not least, due to the idyllic location at the edge of the forest, there is enough natural shade and stressed parents can find a little time and leisure here to relax and unwind. The lake buffet with a terrace overlooking the lake spoils its guests with all kinds of seasonal delicacies and invites you to chill out. [burgenland.info]
