The Forchtenstein bathing reservoir is fed by the Haidbach. It is located in the middle of "Paradise", as the side valley of the Rosalien Mountains is called. It is 15,000 m2 in size and scores points for its natural shade. Oases of peace and water fun are the best ways to describe the area. It is particularly popular with families as it has very shallow access. A diving tower and a water slide, beach volleyball court and playground for the little ones provide variety. On the sun terrace with a wonderful view of the lake, the canteen spoils you with one or two delicacies. Whether you are a bather, hiker, cyclist or walker - a visit is always worthwhile.

natural bathing pond. The 4€ day ticket for entry was absolutely worth it, even if we only stayed here for an hour on a very hot day. Children's paradise, shady spots on the sunbathing lawn even on a hot Sunday afternoon in July, friendly staff in the canteen with a beautiful shady terrace.

There is an excellent kiosk above the bathing area. Here you can eat very well and cheaply and have a wonderful view. There is a bicycle station on the opposite side of the curve.
