My guesthouse in the Franconian Lake District consists of four modern and comfortably furnished vacation apartments and a large garden. The guesthouse is situated in a quiet location between Lake Altmühl and Lake Brombach, on the outskirts of Haundorf.
Vacation Apartment 3 on the upper floor (approx. 45 square meters) has been renovated and features a living and dining area with a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom with a bathtub, a rain shower, and a separate toilet. The apartment is furnished with a double bed (160x200 cm) and a sleeper sofa and can accommodate up to four people.
All guests have access to a large garden for relaxing, playing, and barbecuing. Private parking is available right in front of the house, and of course, free internet/Wi-Fi is provided.
SURROUNDINGS:
The Franconian Lake District, south of Nuremberg, is the perfect place for relaxing, hiking, and biking. In the summer, numerous beaches along the seven lakes are perfect for sunbathing. Active vacationers greatly appreciate the well-developed and clearly marked biking and hiking trails. All lakes are surrounded by a bike and hiking trail and are best explored by bike. For water sports enthusiasts, sailing, surfing, kitesurfing, and/or wakeboarding are popular activities.
The town of Haundorf is a state-recognized resort located in the heart of the Franconian Lake District. Thanks to its central location right next to the Mönchswald forest, the town is an ideal starting point for bike tours, hiking trips, and days at the beach. Lake Altmühl is only 6 km away, and you can reach the large Lake Brombach in about 20 minutes (15 km away). The Haundorf Ponds are located in the immediate vicinity, inviting you to take a stroll and, in the summer, offering a great place to cool off (swimming and barbecuing are permitted).
Gunzenhausen is the nearest town (about 8 km away) with a very beautiful town center and numerous shopping options and restaurants. Every Thursday, a weekly market featuring regional products takes place here—it’s very popular with both locals and tourists.
FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN:
There’s plenty to do for children in the region as well. A large adventure playground at the Seezentrum Wald on Lake Altmühl is open year-round. Pirate boat tours featuring an exciting treasure hunt take place regularly on the MS Altmühlsee, and for older kids, there’s the high ropes course at Lake Brombach, which includes a spectacular zip-line ride over Lake Igelsbach. For families with children, the Nuremberg Zoo and/or the Playmobil FunPark are excellent choices for a day trip, each less than an hour’s drive away.
SWIMMING AND SAUNAS:
In addition to the numerous swimming beaches in the lake region, Gunzenhausen also features a large recreational pool with a spacious swimming and leisure pool, a sunbathing lawn, slides, and a diving tower. In case of bad weather or during the winter, you can visit the Juramare leisure pool in Gunzenhausen. It’s also home to the diverse and award-winning “Sauna Village” with a spacious sauna garden and an extensive wellness offering. Those seeking relaxation will also love the Altmühltherme in Treuchtlingen. Here, the sauna area, thermal baths, and activity pool are all under one roof—and just 35 km away.
DAY TRIPS:
Is FOCUS magazine right, and does Dinkelsbühl really have the most beautiful old town in Germany? Or is the largely preserved medieval old town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber actually the more beautiful one? See for yourself. Dinkelsbühl is 45 km away, and Rothenburg ob der Tauber is 65 km from your accommodation. In any case, both cities are international tourist magnets. They’re less than an hour away and are therefore ideal for day trips.
Bavaria’s second-largest city, Nuremberg, is also just 50 km from Haundorf and can be reached by car in less than 60 minutes. Here, a historic old town with many Franconian half-timbered houses surrounding Nuremberg Castle awaits you. Culture lovers will enjoy visiting the Nuremberg State Theater. Animal lovers will likely prefer the large Nuremberg Zoo with its 300 animal species. And don’t forget the Playmobil Fun Park for all ages in the Nuremberg area.
