The Deininger Weiher , also Gleißental-Weiher , is a moor lake in Großdingharting - Straßlach and belongs to the community of Straßlach-Dingharting .

geography

The lake is about 20 km south of Munich. It is the center and namesake of a recreation area in a landscape shaped by the Ice Age. The hamlet of Gleißentalweiher with an inn with overnight accommodation is located directly on its north side . With a depth of only 1.80 m, the water heats up quickly and is a correspondingly popular destination for bathers. The lake is almost 100 meters wide and 260 meters long, has a volume of 40,500 cubic meters and a catchment area of 2.3 square kilometers. The depth of view is rather low, as it is a typical moor lake with a dark brown color. In the bank area there are mainly beeches and oaks, otherwise there is a spruce forest in the moraine wall . The silting process can be clearly observed in the southern area. There are bathing opportunities in several places.

Part of the lake is a nature reserve ; Slow worms , grass snakes , vipers and turtles live in the habitat.

Emergence

The pond was created in the Würme Ice Age . It is a dead lake that emerged from the Egling -Deininger glacier tongue . This glacier tongue was in turn part of the former Wolfratshausen glacial basin . The outflow of the lake on the northern side into the Gleißenbach also represents the location of the former glacier gate. Depending on the season, the water seeps away after a few meters in the scree bed of the former glacial drainage channel of the Gleißental , which extends to the Oberhaching district of Deisenhofen .

A small brook marked with an inlet ditch , which has already taken in the Weiherbachl coming from Deining , is today's tributary of the pond.
