One of the quieter spots on the lakes. In the morning shortly after sunrise, however, you have the paths almost to yourself.

March 10, 2024,Rund um kleinen Brombach- und Igelsbachsee
Despite the fact that it is the beginning of March, many restaurants are already open. Due to the weather, slightly cloudy, it was very pleasant. Only in the afternoon were there more people, whether on foot or by bike.

It's nice that the parking is free in winter. However, there are very few toilets open and depending on where you are, it can be difficult to find a place to stop for refreshments. Nevertheless, it was a nice tour.

Showing Translation

A leisurely walk around the Kleiner Brombachsee and the Igelsbachsee, with a roughly equal mix of paved and "natural" paths. There are plenty of places to stop for refreshments, and the (water) birds are busy tending to the next generation.

Start and finish: parking lot at the Absberg cemetery. Today we started with a detour to the Igelsbachsee and then circled the small Brombachsee.
