Kuhsee, Reservoir in Hochzoll district, Augsburg, Germany
The Kuhsee reservoir spans 17 hectares with depths between 1 to 5 meters, sustained by groundwater flow in the eastern part of Augsburg.
The reservoir emerged through gravel extraction between 1970 and 1972 following a flood protection project initiated after severe flooding in Augsburg-Hochzoll.
The name Kuhsee derives from past practices when local farmers led their municipal cattle herds to this former Lech river backwater for drinking.
The water body features parking areas, kiosks, a restaurant, restrooms, playgrounds, and boat rentals, accommodating up to 10,000 visitors during summer weekends.
The adjacent Kuhseeheide conservation area, protected since 1951, contains numerous endangered plant species within its natural landscape.
