Here at the Waldsee you feel quite certain as on vacation. There is a great beach, you can go diving, sailing, wakeboarding and fishing. Definitely worth a break here.

The 45-hectare Effelder Waldsee lies on the edge of the Meinweg National Park in a beautiful natural landscape.

Many attractions in the lake and on the beach. Well-kept gastronomy, top campsite ..... part of a nice round through the border area
