The Marbach reservoir is particularly suitable for families and, with its sunbathing lawns and shady spots, is a popular meeting point for day trips. myodenwald.de emphasizes that the reservoir, with its approximately 22 hectares of area and a swimming area on it, is an excellent destination for water sports enthusiasts and sun-seeking visitors.

What could be nicer than taking a hike in the countryside after a refreshing swim? The walks in the English Garden in Eulbach, where traces of the Odenwald Limes can be found, are a real eye-catcher. In addition, historical sights such as the castles of Breuberg, Rodenstein and Freienstein as well as Reichenberg Castle invite you to visit.

Marbach Reservoir: A center for water sports and recreation
The Marbach reservoir not only impresses with its water surface, but also with a wide range of leisure activities. In addition to boating, surfing and sailing, beach lovers can look forward to a well-kept beach area.
