Baggersee Schweinfurt

Highlight • Lake

Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed. It's better to take a walk south of the lake. It's also interesting to see how many prohibition signs have been posted around the lake.

Very good DLRG-guarded swimming lake. The lake is very pleasantly fresh - because it is quite deep.

On the day we were there, the consistency was a bit cloudy (clayey), but the lake still has good water quality.

Quickly, before the summer hype starts, made a little tour around the Schweinfurt lakes.
Started at the main parking lot of the Schweinfurter Baggersee, then down to the Tannigweiher and back again.

In summer it is always nice and green and shady - but in winter it is definitely a mosquito-free zone. Either way, the quarry ponds are recommended at any time of year.

June 17, 2025,Schweinfurt Baggersee (Badesee) - Sauerstücksee (Vogelschutzgebiet) und Senftenhofsee (Fischereigewässer)

On a beautiful, sunny day, we took the city bus (public transport) to the Schweinfurt harbor area/quarry lake and from there hiked around the relatively close lakes (quarry lake = swimming lake, Sauerstücksee = bird sanctuary, and Senftenhofsee = fishing waters).

The stork's nest at Sauerstücksee is currently occupied. We saw a proud stork with a young stork.
