Charmingly situated on the edge of the town of Mühlhausen, the area around the Schwanenteich offers a wide range of opportunities to be active. A boat rental service rents out rowing boats and water bikes from May to September. Younger guests can use the attractive playgrounds dotted around the area. You can take a walk around the swan pond or to the nearby Brunnenhaus Popperode. Cycling and hiking trails, a café and a nearby campsite with pitches for caravans and a meadow for tents are available for visitors to use. The newly built outdoor pool has also been available for use since 2020.
