The Eginger See is an artificial, dammed bathing lake in the area of the municipality of Eging am See in the district of Passau . The lake is around 20 hectares in size. In some maps it is referred to as Rohrbachstausee after the stream that feeds it .
The facility was opened to the public in July 1975. The lake is one of the few natural bathing lakes in the Bavarian Forest . It has an extensive sandy beach, a bathing jetty, a swimming island and a lakeside restaurant, as well as a boat rental. In winter the frozen lake area is used for ice skating and ice stock sport.
Due to strong green algae infestation in summer 2012, the lake was completely emptied in September 2012 by draining water over the Rohrbach with the help of the dam.
The Eging volunteer fire brigade , the Eging readiness of the Bavarian Red Cross and the fishing club took the entire fish stock with a net and a landing net in a 3-day voluntary fishing operation. 95 percent of the total of 32 tons of fish were marble carp , which were ultimately responsible for the green algae infestation. The fish were temporarily stored for the period of emptying and then (except for the marble carp) quartered again in the lake. By removing the marble carp, the cause of the green algae would actually have been eliminated. However, since the lake with its 320,000 cubic meters of water had already been emptied, the opportunity was taken to have it professionally desludged. The renovation costs amounted to around 300,000 euros. The renovation work has been successfully completed since June 2013 and the lake has been refilled with fresh water from the Rohrbach.
The children's water landscape directly on the lake was also completed in time for the 2013 bathing season. The construction costs amounted to around 700,000 euros. In contrast to the bathing lake, the pools contain clear, treated water.
