Swimming areas/beach areas

Summer. Sun. Swimming.

Listen to the waves lapping at your feet in the warm sand, observe the hustle and bustle on the lake and go for a swim to cool off – this is how the day could unfold at one of the two swimming areas/beach areas in Bosen and Gonnesweiler.
Buoys divide the lake into non-swimmer and swimmer areas, thereby ensuring safe swimming among all the sailing and windsurfing.

There are also playgrounds, volleyball courts and sanitary facilities at the swimming areas/beach areas.
The seasonal catering outlets offer a fantastic choice of food and drinks.

Bikes cannot be taken into the swimming areas/beach areas or onto the lawns for sunbathing, but can be parked out front!
Barbecues or shisha pipes are not allowed in the swimming areas/beach areas or on the lawns for sunbathing.
