September 26, 2026, Bird Observation Tower at Craimoosweiher

Wooden bird watching hut with benches and bicycle parking. From here you have a beautiful view of a part of the lake. You can observe birds in the Craimoosweiher, protected from sun and rain. Useful to bring: binoculars 🔭🦢🦆

A circular walk around the Röhrensee lake in BT is always a good idea.

Like most river sources, it's rather unspectacular, but if you're planning to cycle the Main cycle path anyway...

Very nice place to stop, delicious food, sweets and coffee, but it's already quite old.

The old town hall formerly served as a sales hall for bread and meat products, a frequently used dance floor, a prison (known as the "Narrenhäuslein"), a fire extinguisher's house, and a post office. Later, it housed the savings bank. Today, the old town hall houses the residents' registration office, the passport office, the assembly hall, and the wedding hall.
