The area around Lake Hammersee and the adjacent nature reserves Weichselbrunner and Warbrucker Weiher are best discovered on one of the well-signposted circular hiking trails that lead through the Bodenwöhr municipal area.

Lake Hammersee is idyllically located right in the center of Bodenwöhr. At one time, hydropower was used to power the former steelworks. Today, Lake Hammersee is a paradise for water enthusiasts and a popular swimming lake. A variety of recreational activities are available here, in addition to hiking.

I wouldn't call it hiking, but it is certainly a nice walk around it.
