A great swimming lake, especially for children, with a sandy beach, a jetty for jumping in, and a swimming island. Since the lawn by the lake was only created a few years ago, there's still little shade (so bring an umbrella if you want shade). The kiosk doesn't have reliable opening hours, so don't forget something to drink.

The quarry lake was created in 1938–39 through gravel mining. It is located in the Untere Amper landscape protection area and in the immediate vicinity of the Amper and the federal highway 8. There is a campsite on the east bank. From the northwestern shore marked here you have a nice view over the lake. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampersee

Eisolzrieder See is located about 2.5 km southwest of Bergkirchen, next to the motorway bridge on the community road from Eisolzried towards Bergkirchen-Lus. As part of the development measures for the new GADA commercial area, the area of the lake in the immediate vicinity was expanded. By purchasing additional land, the existing area could be roughly doubled, so that the total area is now approx. 8.9 hectares (water area 3.25 hectares). A kiosk, sanitary facilities and around 320 parking spaces are available to bathers. https://www.bergkirchen.de/freizeit-kultur/badeseen/

There is no risk of blue-green algae, especially at Lake Karlsfelder, which has a very good water exchange.
