Benches overlooking the Großer Brombachsee

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Today, in glorious weather 🌤️, we walked around the Iselbachsee and the small and large Brombachsee, took a break in between and enjoyed nature. We also visited a Kneipp facility and it was very refreshing.

The weather today was very windy but dry, so we were able to go on a bike tour again.
Around the Brombachsee - "must tour" when we are in Gunzenhausen. At the Altmühlüberleiter and in the forest we were well protected from the wind and had no problem with the wind.

Today we had the best cycling weather and we completed our "mandatory tour" around the Brombachsee. The Altmühlüberleiter and the paths around the lake are very beautiful and easy to ride. But at least in some sections, especially in weather like this, this also leads to masses of "bicycle and hiking traffic".

After we fled Italy again due to the uneconomical circumstances, we are now spending a few days in our beloved Franconian Lake District and can really relax here.

Unfortunately 3 km of our tour not recorded. 🤷‍♀️.
Nice round, sometimes a lot of mosquitoes on the way.
Surprising encounter at the lake.

A very nice tour 👍👍👍 at the end of our Altmühlsee stay. With pleasant cycling weather to the Brombachsee and this completely surrounded. There are bathing beaches and other tourist attractions at the Großer Brombachsee, so that there is a lot going on here, especially on weekends.
