The Hirschlensee , popularly known as the " Baggersee ", is a small lake at 410 m above sea level. M. in the north-west of the Swiss municipality of Reichenburg . It was created in 1972 when groundwater came to the fore when gravel was exploited for the construction of Autobahn 3 , then called "Nationalstrasse 3".
