The kiosk with the beer garden is really great and top-managed, view 1A! The lake unfortunately has a problem, it's not 1.5m deep, very muddy and then there are also many water plants that interfere with swimming. So unfortunately unsuitable for real swimmers! Advantage it warms up very quickly, in midsummer probably then only a "warm broth".

A nice, shaded playground with a water pump. Unfortunately, the swimming area is paved with sharp gravel instead of sand, so water shoes are recommended.

The bridge over the Wöhrsee between Hauptsee and Herzogbad is the only way to cross the Wöhrsee. It was renovated in April 2024. During the construction work, the entire bridge, including the concrete foundations and lock, was dismantled and renewed. The wooden girders were replaced with steel girders so that rotting wood will no longer be a problem in the future.
