Diving Station Rest Area at the Rursee

Highlight • Viewpoint

The erected benches offer a wonderful resting place and a beautiful view. Not only are the two benches new, but there are also two tables with benches on each long side in the immediate vicinity. Since Rursee divers get into or out of the water at this point, you shouldn't be surprised to see strange-looking "creatures" along the way. Incidentally, an SOS station located there is not suitable for rioting, IT CAN SAVE LIVES.

View of the Rursee

Highlight • Viewpoint

We started our tour at the Hotel Seehof in Schwammenauel and then hiked to Woffelsbach. From there we took the ship back to Schwammenauel. The tour is then about 14 kilometers long and ideal for a beautiful late summer day.

Diving Spot at the Rursee on the Smuggler's Trail

Highlight • Lake

The path was named after the coffee smugglers who smuggled coffee and other smuggled goods from Belgium into the country during World War II to feed their families. The money was also used to rebuild the church in Schmidt. That is why the church has been nicknamed St. Mocha to this day.
