The Rohrentalweiher is a local recreation area near Rubenheim. The legendary "Kleintiroler Weiherfest" used to take place here every year. It was always a great event 👍!

due to a lack of alternatives, you can only "translate" here, but be careful on the side of the pond there are small stairs (mobile), the bridge entrance only allows handlebars up to a maximum of 780mm !!!
