Prinz von Hessen Quarry

Highlight • Lake

Idyllic lake in the forest, originated in the early 20th century by lignite mining. In the summer quite lively on weekends. Out of season and in bad weather but pleasingly little visited.

A well-frequented but still relaxing place with a pond, playground and restaurant for small and large appetites. In summer there is an ice cream truck in the parking lot and sells delicious ice cream.

Steinbrücker Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Oberwaldhaus is always worth a short visit, you can go on boats on the lake, there is a great playground for children and a mini golf course.
