Fishing is allowed here, which means that you have to be quiet. You can therefore enjoy the wonderful nature in peace. In spring and summer, the blossoming trees are very pretty to look at and you can also observe birds, butterflies, dragonflies, ducks and many other creatures.

The Erlabrunner Badesee local recreation area The Würzburg Recreation and Hiking Area Association has created the "Erlabrunner Badesee" local recreation area on a 19-hectare site. But the name is a little misleading, because there are actually two lakes - the Große See and the Kleine See. Together they have a water surface area of seven hectares. Location and directions The bathing lake is located in 97250 Erlabrunn, between Würzburg and Zellingen, and can be reached via State Road 2300. The journey from Würzburg takes around a quarter of an hour. The first exit leads directly to the Kleiner See, the second to the kiosk. A total of 1,000 parking spaces are available for drivers. It is also possible to get there easily by public transport, there is a bus stop right outside the door. But it is even nicer to get there by bike, as the Main Cycle Path winds around the bathing lake. Opening hours May to September inclusive: 8.30 a.m. to 9.30 p.m. (or at dusk) October and April: 9.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m. (or at dusk) November inclusive March: 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. Source: https://www.landkreis-wuerzburg.de/Bildung-Freizeit-Kultur/Urlaub-dahemm/Badesee/
