Brombachsee 10312-z - Big Brombach Lake (Großer Brombachsee)}}

The lakes Altmühlsee, Brombachsee, Rothsee, Dennenloher See and Hahnenkammsee together form a lake neighborhood 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.

The biggest lake of the neighborhood is the Große Brombach Lake. The Big Brombach Lake is a storage lake of about 12.7 km², with about kilometers 17.5 of shoreline. Its depth is about 32 meters. The scenic Small Brombach Lake is situated in the Brombach and Igelsbach valley. Full beaches and the activity on the water show the highly attractive nature of the recreational Small Brombach Lake. With its 2.5 km² and the lake invites to people to go swimming, surfing, sailing, fishing, and boating.

The biggest European Trimaran passenger ship, "MS Brombachsee", crosses the Lake daily. The coastline is unspoiled; there are bike paths and hiking trails around the lake. Four recreational establishments and 1,000 sailboat berths make this an ideal surf and sailing destination. A great viewpoint is the Two-Lake-Place in Enderndorf am See.

The Altmühl Lake, situated in the broad valley of the Altmühl, sits between single villages and meadows. It was created as the first lake in the lake neighborhood and has a length of kilometers 4 and an area of roughly 4.5 km². The ship "Gunzenhausen" crosses the lake.

The Roth lake, which is 2.2 km², is divided into a economic part and a swimming area. Surfing and sailing are feasible in most parts. In the north western corner there is a large nature reserve. The Roth Lake also has three recreational areas.

The Lake District besides its obvious tourism value also serves to move water from the relatively "wet" Old Bavaria to Franconia and was built in conjunction with the Main Donau Kanal.
