Kleinhesseloher See

The Kleinhesseloher See spans 480 meters in length and 305 meters in width, featuring three islands within its waters in central Munich.

Friedrich Ludwig Sckell expanded the lake between 1807 and 1812, following its initial creation by Reinhard Freiherr von Werneck in 1803.

The three islands within the lake carry names reflecting German nobility: Königsinsel, Kurfürsteninsel, and Regenteninsel, representing historical governance structures.

Visitors can rent pedal boats and rowing boats at the northern section near Seehaus, while a 2,500-seat beer garden provides refreshments.

During winter months, when the lake freezes, the surface transforms into a natural platform for ice skating, curling, and ice hockey activities.
