The approximately 17 m deep, 420 m long and 210 m wide lake "Echinger See", with excellent and clear water, offers the perfect bathing and relaxation opportunity in summer near the community of Eching.
The lake was originally a dredging lake created due to gravel extraction in the 1960s near the districts of Freising/Munich.

Therefore, there are gravel stones and filled sand at the bottom of the lake.

Since 1980, it has also offered a huge green/laying/playing area, the entire area around the lake is about 33 hectares in size - of which about 13hectares is taken up by the lake itself.

The area offers beach volleyball courts, table tennis courts and circular walking trails.

For children, there are sand courts and a child-friendly beach area.

A sales kiosk with a small beer garden ensures physical well-being.

In addition, there is a liliane right next to the kiosk and the bridge - from which you can swing into the water. If you are coming from Garching, you could also perfectly inline the way to Echinger See - because the road is pleasantly tarred throughout.

Free access to the water is possible all around the lake. Only on the southern side of the lake, in a small area, does the protection of nature take preference over recreational needs. For here is a biotope - which is currently in the process of being created - the Echinger Weiher. This area is separated by a fence.
