    More beautiful on the new Moosbergsee

    Beautiful view of the lake! The "New Moosbergsee" is an artificial body of water. The former mine, which now contains the lake, was created after surface mining of glaucoquartzite was exhausted and continued below the level of the surrounding Murnau Moor. After mining activities ceased, the mine filled within a few years.

    The former Moosberg appears today in the form of a lake. Its very hard rock (glaucoquartzite) was mined to a depth of up to 80m. The Romans already used it as a building material. Mining became actual again when in 1828 the streets of Munich were started to be paved. In 1925 industrial dismantling began. In 2001 the renaturation ended, so today a beautiful lake can be seen.
