The Bad am Wald is idyllically located on the edge of the forest in Pößneck, and in addition to a water playground, beach volleyball and tennis courts are also available. There is a spacious sunbathing lawn and a snack bar with drinks, snacks, and ice cream.

It is still a very nice place to take a break. Even if the water lily pond doesn't have much water left. There are several places to rest for a while. And the places have been decorated with lovely figures. It is always worth a trip. And maybe you will run into Aiko and me. Since we do this tour quite often 😊

An idyllic spot: On the bank of the pond there is a covered table with two benches for a break.
