The Lake Weißensee enchants visitors with its location between green meadows and majestic mountains.
Stretching over a length of 2.4 kilometers, a width of almost 600 meters, and a depth of up to 25 meters, the picturesque Lake Weißensee covers an area of 1.35 square kilometers.

Its name holds a secret: Some say it comes from the white shimmer created by lime deposits, while others believe it is named after a Frank named Wizo, who lived here around 600 AD.

Today, Lake Weißensee captivates not only with its rich history but also with its breathtaking nature.
