Hiking

A very beautiful, large lake in the middle of the park. There are numerous places to relax around the lake. It's not suitable for swimming. However, you can rent rowboats, pedal boats, and canoes. From the lake, you have a fantastic view of Olympic Hill, the Olympic Stadium, and the Olympic Halls.

Hiking

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).
