“There are pictures that say “swimming is forbidden” because of danger to life. Does anyone know more??” Locals haven't noticed the signs yet. I recently asked the question to someone I met there.

the beach marked here is NOT public but private (club, Paddelclub Illingen). Entering is tolerated at most. If you want to sunbathe or swim here, you run the risk of being sent away.
