Lake Hoffeld, a former basalt quarry on the Burgkopf hill above Hoffeld, is not open to the public. It is used by the Hoffeld 1990 e.V. fishing club and is fenced off on all sides.

Former basalt quarry I've even been swimming there before. If you're nearby, it's definitely worth a visit.

I don't really understand what it is. It's run by an association of the Catholic Church. There are beautiful old buildings, but also more modern functional buildings. There's also a farm shop and a nice sports field. I was here once and didn't see a soul, but today there are endless people.

Beautiful lawn for sunbathing on the banks of Lake Freilingen. The nearby restaurants invite you to stop by for delicious food and cool drinks. On summer weekends when the weather is good for swimming, it can get quite crowded here.

The Freilinger See is a dam that protects the villages below from flooding. It offers many recreational opportunities, including fishing. For information, see e.g. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stauanlage_Weilerbach or https://www.eifel.info/a-freilinger-see-1
