Großer Brombachsee

The reservoir extends across three municipalities of Bavaria, covering 8.7 square kilometers with an average depth of 13 meters at 407 meters elevation.

The construction of Großer Brombachsee concluded in 2000 as part of a water management project to balance water levels between northern and southern Bavaria.

The lake serves as a central gathering point for water sports enthusiasts who practice windsurfing, kayaking, and stand-up paddling throughout the seasonal months.

Multiple rental facilities around the lake provide equipment for various water activities, with direct access from Langlau train station to the main surfing areas.

The reservoir functions as the largest still water body in Franconia, featuring specific zones for diving activities and extensive waterfront paths for recreation.
