Unterschleißheimer See

Unterschleißheimer See is a man-made lake near Munich designed for swimming and leisure activities. The water body features a substantial open surface with multiple bathing areas and shoreline sections suited for various outdoor pursuits.

The lake formed between 1979 and 1980 as a byproduct of gravel extraction during construction of the A92 motorway. This former extraction site transformed into a recreational destination for the region.

The lake serves as a central gathering point where locals and visitors swim, play beach volleyball, and dine at waterside restaurants throughout the year. These everyday activities shape how people experience and value this place in their daily routines.

The lake provides multiple parking areas near the shore that can accommodate vehicles of all sizes. Peak visiting times occur during warm months, so arriving early helps secure parking and enjoy uncrowded bathing areas.

The southeastern shore contains a protected conservation area that serves as habitat for local wildlife and rare plant species. Visitors walking past this section notice how recreation and nature protection coexist at this location.
