Froschgrundsee

Froschgrundsee is a reservoir in the Rödental region of Bavaria, built in 1986 and primarily used for water sports, walks, and nature observation today. The body of water is surrounded by open meadows and crossed by a notable railway bridge, with a well-marked circular path of about 2.6 kilometers running around it.

The reservoir was created in 1986 as a water storage facility and has since been transformed into an important recreation area for the region. The railway bridge spanning the lake is a distinctive structure that has become especially popular with walkers since its renovation in 2022.

The reservoir has become a gathering place for nature enthusiasts who come to observe birds, take walks, and spend time outdoors. Visitors use the area for photography and quiet reflection, making it a focal point for people seeking connection with the natural surroundings.

The lake is easily accessible by car with free parking available nearby, allowing visitors to park for up to three days. The level pathways are suitable for families with children and older adults, and there is a restaurant with a terrace on site for meals and refreshments.

The water can develop blue-green algae in warmer conditions, changing the water color and making swimming unsafe, with warning signs posted around the lake. Despite its original purpose as a water storage facility, the lake is today less suitable for swimming and instead attracts visitors who appreciate the quiet and opportunities for nature observation.
