Franconian Lake District  

The "Franconian Lake district" is a newcomer in Franconian tourism. This leisure and holiday area situated 30 km southwest of Nuremberg, was only established in the last decades, and has since become an attractive holiday and leisure area for the entire family.

The lakes Altmühlsee, Brombachsee, Rothsee, Dennenloher See and Hahnenkammsee together form a lake district which is equal in size and infra-structure to the Upper Bavarian Lake District: the Altmühlsee, for example, is the same size as the Königssee, and the Große Brombachsee has the same area as the Tegernsee.

Friends of water sports will find exemplary leisure facilities here, with sailing, surfing and swimming shores. Over 1500 kilometres of cycle tracks and a well-marked network of walks will lead visitors around the lakes. In addition regular boat services on Altmühlsee and Brombachsee offer variety and relaxation on the water.
