The Eggstätter Lakes, correctly known as the Eggstätt-Hemhofer Lake District, less frequently as the Hemhof-Eggstätter Lake District, are a group of 18 individual lakes with a total area of around 3.5 km² northwest of Lake Chiemsee in the municipal areas of Eggstätt, Breitbrunn am Chiemsee, Rimsting and Bad Endorf in the district of Rosenheim. The towns of Eggstätt in the northeast and Hemhof in the west (incorporated into Bad Endorf in 1978) give the lake its name. Along with the Osterseen group and the Seeoner Lakes, the lake district is considered the most important ice-collapse landscape in the Bavarian Alpine foothills. Part of this landscape forms the oldest nature reserve in Bavaria. Description The five largest lakes (from south to north: Langbürgner See, Schloßsee, Kautsee, Hartsee and Pelhamer See) and some smaller lakes are connected to each other by watercourses with a slight gradient to the north. These are dead ice holes fed by groundwater without any significant above-ground inflow. The Hartsee, the deepest lake at 39.1 m, drains via the Ischler Achen to the Eschenauer See and further to the Alz. The Eschenauer See, like the other lakes in the Weitmoos north and east of Eggstätt, is not considered one of the Eggstätter lakes. Like the Laubensee, it already belongs to the Traunstein district (Pittenhart municipality). The lake district has been designated as a valuable geotope by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (geotope number: 187R001)
