Böhmerweiher, Nature reserve lake in western Munich, Germany

Böhmerweiher comprises two artificial lakes created from gravel extraction, with a larger main lake and a smaller secondary water body. The site features natural shorelines and reed beds that give the place its distinctive character.

The lakes were created in the 1960s through wet gravel extraction by landowner Böhmer. After a concrete mixing company briefly used the site, it developed into recreational and protected nature areas.

The name comes from the landowner Böhmer who shaped these waters. Today anglers and nature watchers use the area, with dense reeds at the smaller lake providing shelter for birds and water insects.

Visitors should note the absence of restrooms, food services, and lifeguards at this site. Being unmanaged with no designated parking, it requires visitors to be self-sufficient and cautious.

The larger lake contains an unusual small island in the middle of the water. This natural feature sets it apart from most other lakes in the area and makes it particularly interesting for nature watchers.
