If you are here on the Main-Danube Canal, you should not miss the visitor platform of the Eckersmühlen lock. As with the locks in Hilpoltstein and Leerstetten, the lock drop height is 24.67 meters, which is the largest drop height that has ever been built in Germany.

Lake Rothsee has a lot to offer: It has several beaches where you can sunbathe (or sunbathe) – there's even a dedicated dog beach. Surfing, stand-up paddling, and boating – everything is possible. There are several playgrounds around the lake and many paths for walking and cycling. Food and drink are also available. A worthwhile destination.

Rothsee

Highlight • Lake

The Rothsee is the heart of the water transfer from the Danube to the Rhine-Main area. It stores the Altmühl and Danube water pumped up via the Main - Danube Canal. Very nice lake for all kinds of water sports or just to relax. Beautiful lawns, various restaurants and a beautiful path around the lake. With 2.1 square kilometers of water, the Rothsee is the largest natural bathing water in the Roth district. It is divided into two parts, a preliminary barrier and a main barrier.

Sometimes very relaxed along the Main-Danube Canal 🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ and cycled around the Rothsee ... 😉☺

...but I had a headwind the entire way. To end the day in a relaxed manner, I'm enjoying a cherry-flavored apple wine.

Today we went to the Rothsee. Delicious cheese cream at the end in Schwabach is already a tradition 😁
