Großer Rosenhofteich Boathouse

Highlight • Lake

The ponds belong to the Rosenhof Forestry Estate and were originally used for timber storage.
Swimming is not permitted in the large pond, but swimming is permitted in the small pond. However, the dark water takes some getting used to and requires a bit of courage.

November 4, 2023,Rundwanderung von Sandl zu den Rosenhofer Teichen

The atmosphere on my hike to the Rosenhof ponds yesterday was just too magical. After the initial mist, the sun came. Autumn showed itself in all its facets. Very worthwhile and easy to walk circular hiking trail🥾🥾🍁🍂

October 28, 2023,"böhmischer Wind" 🌬 einfach 🥾wanderbar🥾😉

Today our hike took us to the lower Mühlviertel, along the Czech border🍁🍂 fantastic autumn weather and the famous, infamous🥶😄 Bohemian wind were our companions.
This wind heralds the cold season and makes it really frosty when winter actually arrives.
But it's not that far yet! 😁 If you're looking for peace and quiet, you're in good hands in this …
