Rothsee East Shore

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

The Rothsee is beautifully situated. There is the possibility of running a large or small lap. There is always something to see.

Negative to mention: On weekends and when the weather is good, it can be very crowded ...

A beautiful little town.
The cleaned-up market square with its pretty houses is an absolute eye-catcher.

Altdorf near Nuremberg is worth more than this (strangely placed) highlight.

The former university town is located about 25 km southeast of Nuremberg in the middle of a low mountain range (400-700 m above sea level) with Rhät gorges (Rhät = Upper Keuper) and upper land rich in forests and meadows. In winter Altdorf is very snowy, in summer the hilly surroundings offer many leisure opportunities, such as cycling tours or hiking. From Hegnenberg you can enjoy a panoramic view of the medieval town in sunny weather

Wonderfully walkable all around on good paths. There are a lot of geese living on the island, so be careful where you step. Occasionally there was also camping. There were also places to stop.
