North Shore of Igelsbachsee

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

I think it is one of the most beautiful sections around the Great Brombachsee. Can be managed by any bike.
And there are far fewer pedestrians here.

Great lake, great for cycling around and very suitable for families because of the many playgrounds, sandy areas and places to stop for a bite to eat.

The riverside path is easy to navigate throughout - and the elevation is low. It's great that the hiking and cycling paths are separate. There are plenty of restaurants on site. A trip to the surrounding villages is also worthwhile.

Relaxed bike tour around the small and large Brombachsee and the Igelbachsee. The route mostly leads directly along the water and past many nice places to stop for refreshments. There is a path for cyclists and one for pedestrians.

What should I write? Today was "pure holiday feeling", for me the Brombachsee is simply the best and most beautiful leisure lake and the guarantee for a great time. A beautiful cycle path leads around the lake, a pleasure boat sails back and forth all day, the countless, wonderful sandy beaches invite you to swim and many "enjoyment stations" tempt …

Today we went from Pleinfeld train station, all the way around the large and small Brombachsee.

The weather today was perfect to start the walk around the Brombachsee. It wasn't too hot and really pleasant.

There was a lot going on everywhere, but I can still recommend the relaxed walk around the lake to everyone. The only thing we forgot …

A beautiful tour, lots of time in the forest or by the lake, lots of shade, very nice cycle paths, often separated from the footpaths, a tour that I will definitely repeat.
