Lake Baggersee near Karlsruhe officially unveiled with pristine water

After years of heated debates, a significant change is taking place in the lake landscape near Karlsruhe, Germany. The gravel pit lake known as the Hardtwaldsee and the Hurstsee near Ettlingen are now offering refreshing swimming opportunities for locals and visitors alike.

For a long time, the Hardtwaldsee has been a prohibited swimming area. However, this summer, it has been transformed into a vacation-like atmosphere, where guests can cool off in clear, blue water. The southern part of Hardtwaldsee is now open for bathing, ensuring safety and manageability as the swimming area was newly allowed for public use.

The Hurstsee, a dreamlike lake near Ettlingen, has also seen a change. Despite being a protected landscape area, the north bank remains closed for swimming. However, swimming has been allowed on the east bank since this spring, following a compromise reached by the authorities. The water quality on the east bank is constantly monitored and has been found to be excellent.

The Hardtwaldsee, with its refreshing waters, provides an attractive summer destination. The water in the gravel pit lake is a dream to cool off in, offering a unique swimming experience. The Hurstsee, on the other hand, is a dreamlike lake, with clear water that invites swimmers to take a dip.

The gravel pit lake near Karlsruhe, previously a blind spot in the local lake landscape, is now ready to welcome its guests. The lake allowing swimming again is the Hurstsee near Ettlingen. The re-opening of these swimming areas is set to bring a new lease of life to the lake landscape around Karlsruhe.

For the latest updates on facilities, access points, or water conditions, local Karlsruhe municipal websites or regional leisure lake guides should provide the most accurate and up-to-date information, as these details are subject to official regulation changes.

Whether you're a local or a visitor, make sure to visit these beautiful lakes and enjoy a refreshing swim this summer.
