Simssee, Body of water in Rosenheim, Germany
Simssee is a lake in the Rosenheim district covering approximately 6.5 square kilometers with a maximum depth of around 22 meters. It is the largest body of water in the area and offers several designated swimming locations along its shores.
The lake formed at the end of the Würm glaciation period as the final remnant of a former larger lake system in the region. This geological development shaped the landscape of the area permanently.
The lake serves as a gathering place for people from the surrounding area, particularly at swimming spots where families and friends meet during the summer months. Local visitors use these locations regularly for swimming, picnicking, and spending time by the water.
The water is suitable for swimming during summer months, and quality is monitored regularly for visitor safety. Plan your visit around the designated swimming areas, as some spots may be more crowded than others depending on the time of day.
The southern shore contains protected natural areas with wetlands, marshes, and riparian forests that shelter rare plant species. This section remains mostly off-limits to the public to preserve these delicate ecosystems.
