Beautiful natural swimming lake directly on the new Schillingsfürst-Dombühl bike path. Free admission, changing rooms and restrooms available. Wonderfully soft water for those who enjoy chlorine-free swimming. Open from Whitsun to mid-September with temperatures from 20 degrees Celsius. There's also a small kiosk, run voluntarily by members of the Fischhausbad Friends Association.

Beautiful natural swimming lake Open from Pentecost to mid-September with temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius. Directly on the new bike path from Schillingsfürst to Dombühl and just 100 meters from the year-round campsite. Pleasant spot - new trees will replace the felled ones for more shade. Changing rooms and restrooms available!

The village shop is a great place to stop before or after a tour or to buy something for the journey. It is in a great location near the train station.

On the edge of the slope to the Dragonergrund, between the castle park of Schillingsfürst and Stilzendorf, there is a beautiful grassy path with great views. Simply wonderful! 👍
