Very nice resting place at the large Lindleinsee. Very secluded and quiet, 2 benches invite you to relax and rest. The Great Lindleinsee is located near Steinsfeld in Bavaria and is part of the "Great and Small Lindleinsee bird sanctuary". As a nature reserve, it serves the bird life that lives there. Lake lovers from the surrounding towns of Rothenburg ob der Tauber (about 3.5 km from the lake), Neusitz (3.6 km to the shore) and Adelshofen (about 5.0 km away) will find a natural place to relax at the Great Lindleinsee or the opportunity to observe various bird species on a lakeside path. Swimming and entering the reed zone is generally prohibited at the lake. The nearest large town from which you can visit the lake is Rothenburg ob der Tauber. The lakes Kleiner Lindleinsee (approx. 0.6 km), Karrodsee (approx. 9.1 km) and Stausee Münster (approx. 12.3 km) are also very close by. The lake is located in the Ansbach district.

The valley path in the Schandtaubertal from Bettenfeld to Rothenburg to Hammerschmiede is not passable due to many fallen trees and very bad paths
