Willersinnweiher

The Willersinnweiher in the north of Ludwigshafen is a former gravel-pit lake and the most popular bathing lake in the city. Its comparatively clear water, the sunbathing lawns and the shaded shore zones make it a gathering spot for families, sun-seekers and swimmers on hot days. Because of its depth and water quality, the lake is also popular with divers. Paths around the water invite strolling and jogging. The Willersinnweiher is also an interesting example of the renaturation of former gravel-extraction sites.

The city's summer destination

The Willersinnweiher in the north of Ludwigshafen is a former gravel-pit lake and is regarded as the most popular bathing lake in the city. Its comparatively clear water, the broad sunbathing lawns and the shaded shore zones make it a gathering spot for families, sun-seekers and swimmers on hot days. When temperatures rise, half of Ludwigshafen is drawn to this shore.

What to expect

Besides the classic bathing scene, the lake is also popular with divers thanks to its depth and water quality and is regarded as an attractive diving area. Paths around the water invite strolling and jogging, so the lake offers something not only to bathers. This means the visit can be shaped between activity and relaxation by the water, just as you fancy.

Nature & background

The Willersinnweiher is also an interesting example of the renaturation of former gravel-extraction sites of the kind that are common in the Rhine plain. An industrial wasteland has become a valuable local recreation area. Anyone out and about away from the crowds can discover the animal and plant life that has settled around the water along the shore paths.
