Behind the Olympic Stadium is the small Olympic Lake with 🦆 and a beautiful view of the Olympic mountain/tower. Here you can chill out on the lawn in peace and even use the water to cool off.

Hiking

The Olympic Lake is located in the Olympic Park near the Olympic Stadium. Its 84,000 square meters are the size of eight and a half football fields. That is why the lake is divided. The western part is called the "small Olympic Lake", the eastern part is called the "large Olympic Lake". The Spiridon-Luis-Ring bridge forms the border. With a length of 1120 m and a width of 223 meters, it can hold 110,000 cubic meters, or 110,000,000 liters. The lake is between 0.8 meters and 1.4 meters deep, so it is rather shallow.
