Today, 2 June 2018, there are still a few bathers - very nice facility, water level a bit low - but for swimming, it must be enough.

The Forchtenstein bathing lake is located at the foot of the Rosaliengebirge in the Rosalia-Kogelberg Nature Park and, with its excellent water quality, shady sunbathing lawns and natural surroundings, offers a popular destination for swimmers and those seeking relaxation. The lake is fed by the Haidbach, is about 170 meters long, 150 meters wide, and reaches a depth of over six meters at its deepest point. The water surface is around 15,000 square meters, and the bathing beach is partly sandy and partly grassy.

Until the lake was completely fenced in, this place was a beautiful place, especially in the evenings, with a lovely holiday vibe. Now it's more like an enclosure.

The Forchtenstein bathing reservoir is fed by the Haidbach. It is located in the middle of "Paradise", as the side valley of the Rosalien Mountains is called. It is 15,000 m2 in size and scores points for its natural shade. Oases of peace and water fun are the best ways to describe the area. It is particularly popular with families as it has very shallow access. A diving tower and a water slide, beach volleyball court and playground for the little ones provide variety. On the sun terrace with a wonderful view of the lake, the canteen spoils you with one or two delicacies. Whether you are a bather, hiker, cyclist or walker - a visit is always worthwhile.

Nice pond with an island in the middle. I didn't notice any signs prohibiting cycling.

01/01/2023 - The Knollteich at Maria-Theresienplatz has become more and more muddy over the last few decades. The restoration began in 2005 - the result is impressive. The Knollteich was completely repaired by HSV Fishing and Casting in 2005. The ongoing flow of water from the Kehrbach (Schwarza) allows the stocking of trout. Fishing in the Knollteich is only permitted with artificial flies and streamers. Source: https://hsv-angeln.at/gewasser/knollteich/

Excellent water quality, a shady location and lots of nature are the best-known features of the Forchtenstein reservoir, which is fed by the Haidbach. Families with children get their money's worth here! 15,000 m² of water surface invite you to cool off and relax. The reservoir is very shallow at the beginning, so that it is also suitable for families with small children. A diving tower and a 50m long water slide ensure pure water fun as well as swimming. A children's playground, which is well equipped, a table tennis table and 2 beach volleyball courts complete the offer. Last but not least, due to the idyllic location at the edge of the forest, there is enough natural shade and stressed parents can find a little time and leisure here to relax and unwind. The lake buffet with a terrace overlooking the lake spoils its guests with all kinds of seasonal delicacies and invites you to chill out. [burgenland.info]
