Situated above the city center stands the home of an artist couple—a place they have created not only as a setting for their vibrant family life and artistic endeavors, but also as a space where guests are warmly welcomed. In the "Kunstpause" vacation apartment, located on the upper floor of this combined residence and studio, guests can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and find fresh inspiration during a respite from their daily routine.

"Kunstpause am Altmühlsee" is located in Gunzenhausen—the heart of the Franconian Lake District and the gateway to the Altmühl Valley Nature Park. In Gunzenhausen, tradition meets modernity. Cozy beer gardens and charming sidewalk cafés line the town center, which also offers a variety of interesting shopping opportunities. As a state-recognized resort town, Gunzenhausen serves as the ideal starting point for exploring over 800 kilometers of marked cycling and hiking trails. Just outside the city gates, Lake Altmühl offers guests a wealth of recreational opportunities: The water invites visitors to swim, windsurf, sail, kitesurf, canoe, go boating, fish, or stand-up paddleboard. The shoreline is lined with sandy beaches and expansive sunbathing lawns, as well as cycling and hiking paths that can be explored on foot, by bike, on inline skates, or by rickshaw. On the "Vogelinsel" (Bird Island), nature enthusiasts can observe around 300 different bird species. Three lake centers (Schlungenhof, Muhr am See, and Wald) and two recreational areas (Arberg and Ornbau) provide excellent amenities and services all around the lake. Activities such as pedal boating and mini-golf are available, and aboard the *MS Altmühlsee*, children can set sail as pirates. The large adventure playground makes for a perfect excursion destination for the entire family.
