Jägersee, Natural swimming lake in Wendelstein, Germany
Two sand pit lakes separated by a narrow dam are nestled within the Lorenzer Reichswald forest, southeast of Nuremberg at 348 meters elevation.
The lakes originated from sand excavation during the expansion of the A9 Berlin-Munich highway and underwent naturalization processes in the 1970s.
The lakes intersect with notable hiking routes including the Jakobsweg pilgrimage trail and the Franconian Dune Path, offering recreational opportunities for locals.
Access to the lakes is limited to pedestrians and cyclists, with no parking facilities or amenities available near the water bodies.
The larger lake features brown-tinted water that warms up in summer, while the smaller lake contains an island and maintains cooler temperatures.
