The Echtzer See was formerly a quarry pond and invites you to swim, the adjacent sandy area is partly in the shade. For children there is a separate swimming area as well as play equipment in the water, which is ideal for climbing, sliding and jumping. There are also lawns for sunbathing, a snack bar, a beer terrace and a campsite.
