Little Russweiher Beach, Eschenbach

Highlight • Beach

The outdoor pool at the small Rußweiher in Eschenbach is an absolute must if you are in the area. This natural lido is a great experience for both young and old. There is an area for children where they can play with sand and water and jump on the trampoline. There is a volleyball court away from the lawn. Pedal boats or stand-up paddles can be borrowed for a fee. Use of the sanitary facilities is included in the entrance fee. At a small kiosk, you can buy snacks and soft drinks.
