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).

The lake fits perfectly into the Olympic Park. You can also go on pedal boats. There are also many opportunities to relax around the lake

Very beautiful lake complex on the grounds of the Olympic Park. It really fits in very well with the landscape.
Unfortunately, Egyptian geese and their droppings have spread more and more here in recent years.
