The Story

This lake is a popular local hiking and dog-walking spot. Tucked between the A-6 autobahn and Merkurstrasse, it is easily accessible. For fitness types, this is a great loop for running 5k or more, just keep running east on the Barbarossa Bike Path to the Hammerwoog Lake then keep going!

Bring a towel for you dog because there are plenty of places to access the water for a quick doggy-paddle!
