The Altmühlsee is a reservoir in the district of Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen in Bavarian Middle Franconia. It was built from 1976 to 1985 as part of a water regulation system and, along with several other lakes, belongs to the Franconian Lake District.

Hiked around the Altmühlsee today. We started shortly after 8 when the temperatures were still pleasant 😁. There are still shady sections on the west side of the lake.
There were also a lot of cyclists on the road, but not so many hikers. (Today is the last day of vacation in Bavaria.) When I moved to the east side …
