Lake Hahnenkamm

Highlight • Lake

Sandy beach, rolling hills, boat rental and campsite - what more do you need to relax. If you want to move, explore the circular path around the lake.

Parking Area Naturpark Altmühltal

Highlight • Parking

Just like in the other section up the street, if it's open you'd have to pay €2 a day.
According to the internet the place is closed on Mondays, so all the machines are also closed (I understand the logic...)

Today we did a quick lap around Hahnenkamm Lake. In spring weather there were a surprising number of people out and about here at the lake.
It's always worth taking a little lap around the lake here.
By the way, the lake is also easy to get around with a stroller, wheelchair and walker.
