LIESCHBACH LAKE AND NATURE RESERVE

Lieschbach Lake at Philippsbourg is a small peaceful peat mire and lake.

On the outskirts of the villages, the 2km walk around the lake offers an exceptional panoramic of the forest and the rock outcrops. Thanks to a small wooden jetty, you can have a close up view of the wide variety of dragonflies that nest here.

This lake is a nature reserve and is thus protected. Swimming and canoeing is strictly forbidden.
You can reach the lake via the Hanau Lake following the path with the blue cross leading to the Falkenstein castle (35min).
By car: coming from Haguenau towards Bitche, turn right after Philippsbourg into the small hamlet called Lieschbach. After 200m, turn right onto a track, continue 100m and there is a small forest car park on your right. Continue on foot to the lake (10min)
Coming from Bitche: follow Haguenau and before entering Philippsbourg turn left into the hamlet of Lieschbach.
