Forest reservoir parking, swimming prohibited
1 Schützenhaus, 72555, Metzingen
Been here?
This is a small, secluded hikers’ parking area beside the forest and reservoir, with a mostly quiet and dark night. The gently sloping ground receives morning sun, while walkers, joggers and cyclists pass through, especially in the evening and morning. Hiking routes lead to the reservoir and through the woods, but swimming in the reservoir is prohibited. There are no rubbish bins except for dog-waste bags, and the access road may be easy to miss behind the house.

Beautiful place directly beside the forest. No rubbish bins, only bins for dog bags. Swimming is not allowed in the reservoir. A few pedestrians and cyclists passed by, all very friendly or simply uninterested.
Small hiking car park with morning sun. Slightly sloping terrain, with plenty of activity from dog walkers and athletes toward evening. Hiking opportunities to the reservoir and through the forest. Quiet and dark at night. Leave no trace.
Good spot. Be careful: the GPS stops on the road, but you have to take the track and continue behind the house to find the parking area. Great welcome from the locals, especially the hiking club, which parks here every Wednesday and Saturday evening. Take the short, signposted nature walk, which is fun for children. The downside was the sound of gunshots lasting nearly two hours.
Simply a dream. By chance, we ended up in the same place as four years ago. I had forgotten to mark it back then. Absolutely quiet—what more could we want?
A very beautiful, fairly level parking area. We had a wonderfully peaceful night and could walk in the forest or to the lake. Few dog walkers, who friendly greeted us back. Highly recommended.
Level parking area near a reservoir, which is very easy to reach. The path there offers lovely hiking routes.
Really beautiful place! The site is quiet and clean. You are completely on your own. We spent a peaceful night here and set off hiking directly from there the next day.
Joggers and hikers use the parking area early in the morning. Occasional planes landing, otherwise quiet.
Really perfect for one night! Very quiet, with a few hikers at the end of the day and a beautiful reservoir a little farther away.
Great for one night. Level, secluded and easy to reach. There is a very nicely made “hiking trail” of about 10 minutes to the nearby reservoir.
Beautiful, quiet, and somewhat secluded spot! Please leave it clean.
Nice little free parking area next to the forest. Hiking trails start here, so there may be some traffic in the morning. Nothing to complain about, I recommend it.
Quiet, beautiful, level spot.
Quiet spot. Good for one night while passing through.
The only thing you can hear here is birdsong. Beautiful, quiet spot surrounded by nature!
