A beautiful hiking area away from the hustle and bustle of the lake. You can also let your dogs run free here.

Dogs are prohibited. Try counting the number of no-entry signs on a hike around the lake. Horrible.

Small pond in the Grafenrheinfeld municipal forest. Good hiking and biking trails.

In the Tännig valley, east of Grafenrheinfeld, a small dune field is located in an extensive former mining area of Pleistocene drifting sand. Westerly winds deposited the sand in sheltered areas during the cold periods of the last 2.6 million years. The most striking dune is accessible via a hiking trail (Auenwaldweg) that runs directly past it. Two larger sand outcrops exist. The dune and its surroundings are under special protection as a protected landscape feature.

Starting point for a walk around the Schweinfurt quarry lake. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed from April 1 to September 30, as the lake is used as a recreational area for swimmers.
