View of Ellertshäuser Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

With its area of 33 hectares, Lake Ellertshausen is not only proud of its size, but also wonderful to look at. You can no longer really tell that this is a reservoir, the beautiful blue blends so perfectly into its surroundings.

View of Ellertshäuser Lake

Highlight • Viewpoint

The dam was built between 1955 and 1957. With 33 hectares, Lake Ellertshausen is the largest reservoir in the Lower Franconia administrative region. The lake is named after the deserted area of Ellertshausen, a village that was abandoned in the 15th century.

March 7, 2024,Schweinfurter Oberland - Ellertshäuser Seeweg

Unfortunately, a short vacation in Franconia is over far too quickly. On the way home we planned at least one detour to the Ellertshausen quarry pond near Schweinfurt.

You wouldn't expect so much beautiful landscape behind the large industrial city 😉

May 25, 2025,Abendrunde 🌄🌘um den Ellertshäuser See 🌊🌳

Following my son's recommendation to go to Ellertshäuser See, I spontaneously did it since I was nearby 😍.
Thanks to Komoot, I was able to roughly estimate whether I could complete the entire loop before dark 😊and yes, I did 👍🏼😃
I would have loved to spend more time there, to enjoy the sun loungers ☀️ and the very well-maintained …

Today, for the first time in a decade, I was at the newly filled Ellertshäuser Lake. During the week it was unexpectedly quiet and a nice walk...

A very beautiful and easy walk.

On nice days, the kiosk at the beach is open. Three large parking lots around the lake offer ample parking.

There's also a restaurant at the main parking lot.

In early summer, you should definitely take a dip in the lake.

Yes, ... the sun is here ☀️
Today we went to the Ellertshäuser See again and "circled" it ... it's not that strenuous 🤣 ... but it's always nice there 👩‍❤️‍👨

Now we wish you a beautiful sunny long weekend.

Best regards from the Rhön,
Julia & Dieter
