The Olympic lake, created in the course of the park design for the 1972 Olympic Games, is more than a kilometer long, measures more than 200 meters at its widest point and is almost nine hectares in size. He is traversed by the Nymphenburg-Biedersteiner channel and supplied by him and the rainwater of the giant Olympic roofs with water. The Olympic lake is not a bathing lake, but it would be less suitable for swimming and bathing because of its small depth anyway - on average, it is only 1.3 meters. For this you can do boating, wakeboarding or even running on the water in an olympic environment, in an oversized, inflatable waterball.
Joggers and inline skaters like to use the trails around the Olympic lake for sporty laps.

When walking around the small and large Olympic lake, you get a nice impression of the entire park area and enjoy beautiful views of and over the water again and again.

The Olympic Lake is the central body of water in Munich's Olympic Park of the same name and contributes significantly to the idyllic park landscape. It was artificially created as part of the park's design for the 1972 Olympic Games. It is fed by the Nymphenburg-Biederstein Canal and also by rainwater collected from the enormous tent roofs of the Olympic venues. The lake has a total area of 8.6 hectares and a length of approximately 1,120 meters. It is often divided into the "Small Olympic Lake" (to the west) and the "Large Olympic Lake" (to the east).
