Even though Kaiserslautern doesn't have a big river or the sea on its doorstep, we've got it pretty good with the Gelterswoog in the direct neighborhood. The lake is the ideal place to escape the heat of the city on hot summer days and cool off in the cold water. Countless leisure activities invite you to relax and unwind here. Especially in early summer, the water is wonderfully refreshing and the sand under your feet in the lido almost feels a bit like the sea.

A mini-golf course and numerous hiking trails through the Woog landscape make the Gelterswoog an exciting destination on our bucket list even for those who are not keen on going into or onto the water.

It is especially beautiful at the Woog in the evening hours, when you can end the day with a picnic and at sunset. The best place to enjoy the view is from the east side of the lake. From here, the sun colors the water in the most magnificent colors before it sinks behind the trees in the forest.

The lake is easy to reach from Kaiserslautern. It takes only 20 and 30 minutes by public transport.
