description

The five largest lakes (from south to north Langbürgner See, Schloßsee, Kautsee, Hartsee and Pelhamer See) as well as some smaller lakes are connected to one another by watercourses with a slight gradient to the north. These are groundwater-fed dead ice holes without any notable above-ground inflow. The Hartsee, with 39.1 m the deepest lake, drains over the Ischler Achen to the Eschenauer See and on to the Alz .

The Eschauer lake is like the other lakes in Weitenmoos north and east of Eggstaett not expected to Eggstätter lakes. Like the Laubensee, it already belongs to the Traunstein district (municipality of Pittenhart ).

The lake district is designated as a valuable geotope by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment (Geotope number: 187R001).
