Tips from the Community

Glen Sobel
September 12, 2022, Lerchensee

The Lerchensee lies in the valley basin of the middle Schmerach, which runs westwards there and which has dug into the upper shell limestone a short time before.[1] The small river donates water to the lake, but is itself led close to the left bank. A much smaller stream flows along the western settlement border of Ilshofen from the right slope. The K 2668 runs over the valley-crossing dam, behind which the lake is dammed, from the small town of Ilshofen on the right-hand slope, whose nearest houses are only a hundred meters from the shore, to the associated village of Unteraspach in the south.
