The most beautiful swimming lakes around Munich

Only 40 minutes from Munich main station lies the Pilsensee, which is quite idyllic compared to its two bigger brothers, the Ammersee and the Starnberger See.

On the beach you will be lovingly supplied by the adjacent kiosk with tarte flambée and pies.

Whether by bike or on foot, a tour is always worthwhile here. Baden is also possible. There are two larger spots on the lake for this.

On the eastern shore of the lake there is a large lawn and a small beach where you can swim in summer. There is also the option to rent boats if you prefer to stay dry.

The beautifully landscaped Germeringer See at the foot of the Parsberg was created in the early 1970s as a quarry pond.
The lake has no inlet and is fed from natural sources on the lake bottom. At the longest point the lake measures 300 meters, the largest depth is about 6 meters.Nice refreshment in summer :-)

Now at the beginning of October it is really nice with a lot of sun and very few people.

Rest area Räuber Kneißl bike path next to beer garden 👍

Very nice walk right along the shore. Cycling is forbidden here, but it's worth pushing. You can cycle a few meters further outside.

The Feldmochinger See is a popular bathing lake, which attracts many bathers in the summer with a large lawn. A ramp and a jetty provide easy access to the water for everyone. A kiosk is ready for the small and a restaurant for the big hunger. Friends of free body culture find a nudist beach on the southwestern shore.

If you pass the Riemer See while cycling, you can take a break here in summer and refresh yourself in the water. On the eastern shore you will find a flat pebble beach, which turns into a large lawn after a few meters. Perfect to relax a little and enjoy the clear waters of the lake.

The groundwater lake was created between 1937 and 1938 after the end of gravel quarrying on the site operated by the Reichsbahn. Today, the 11.1-hectare quarry pond, which has been completely redesigned as a recreation area, is a popular bathing lake. It is 12.5 m deep at its deepest point. There is also a beer garden on the north bank. A nice destination for a bike ride.

Volleyball fields, designated barbecue areas, its easy accessibility thanks to the immediate proximity to Munich city center, good conditions for windsurfing and its beautiful sandy beaches make the Feringasee one of the most popular lakes in the state capital.

Echinger Lake enchants with its crystal-clear, blue water. You immediately feel like jumping in and cooling off in the summer. And that works too, because Lake Echinger is a popular bathing lake. On the lake shore there is a large sunbathing area, a beach volleyball court, sand playgrounds and a kiosk with a small beer garden.

There is a beautiful bathing area on Lake Starnberg. Bathing jetties make it easier to get into the water and the large sunbathing lawn invites you to relax. At the kiosk you can get delicious snacks and cool drinks.

The outdoor pool is freely accessible.

The Ammersee is always worth a trip, whether by bike around the lake or relaxing with one of the ships on the lake.

Not far from the regatta facility is the Regattaparksee with sunbathing areas in the northern and western parts. Here everyone will find a sunny or shady spot. The lake is 15 hectares in size and up to 15 meters deep. Good swimmers can venture to the bathing island in the middle of the lake. The shore is usually flat, which is ideal for families with children. For the safety of the many bathers on the summer weekends the DLRG Oberschleißheim, which has set up on the north shore in a lake hut provides. Right next to it there are drinks, snacks and ice cream at the kiosk.
