General presentation
Lacs du nord de la Bavière
Artificial lakes and Franconian villages south of Nuremberg, adapted to families, velo, swimming and short stays.
The discovery of Lakes in northern Bavaria revolves around Großer Brombachsee, Altmühlsee and Rothsee. The stay thus alternates between the shores and the lakes, the countryside and the natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. To anticipate also: very seasonal and mild landscape. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Coast
Großer Brombachsee
The Großer Brombachsee offers a clear aquatic experience: clear expanse, open walks and micro-changes of light that transform the water every half hour. It is a place to live in short steps between shore and natural observatory, to capture the variation rather than just one image.
Coast
Altmühlsee
The Altmühlsee opens up a large, unhurried body of water, lined with beaches, reeds and easy to follow paths on foot or by bike. Depending on the sectors, the atmosphere passes from swimming pontoons to more discreet areas where birds are observed, especially when light drops on shallow waters.
Coast
Rothsee
At Rothsee, the banks alternate swimming lawns, small harbours and greener passages where water appears by escape. The lake attracts families and cyclists for a simple day, with enough space to change the atmosphere without leaving the bank for a long time.
Town or village
Gunzenhausen
Gunzenhausen is understood as a crossroads of shops, squares and street fronts that give an immediate tone to the area. To feel the density, walk early in the morning and then take a trip at the end of the day: local animation changes and reveals other details.
