The Garchinger See is a groundwater-fed quarry lake that was created between 1936 and 1938 by gravel mining for the motorway towards Nuremberg. The lake came into the possession of the town of Garching near Munich in 1965 and was developed into a bathing and recreation area in the following years. The lake is around 390 meters long and 120 meters wide and up to 5 meters deep. WIKIPEDIA
