Lang again Lake District
Langwieder Seenplatte is a collective name for several lakes in the west of Munich , in the urban district of Aubing-Lochhausen-Langwied . In August 2000, the 120 hectare large recreational area Langwieder Seenplatte was opened. The lake district includes the Langwieder See, the Lußsee, which was newly created in the late 1990s, and the Birkensee.
Langwieder See
The Langwieder See is located in the west of Munich directly on the A8 to Stuttgart and was created by excavating gravel for the construction of the motorway in the 1930s. The lake has a water surface of 18 hectares. a. a rowing boat rental and a mini golf course. Since May 2008 diving has been allowed again in the northeastern part of the lake. A former motorway service station has been converted into a hotel and restaurant with a beer garden, and there is a campsite near the lake. The rescue station of the Munich-West water rescue service is located on the southern bank of the lake and operates a rapid response group from here. From this station, missions and patrols on the Luß and Birkensee as well as first responder missions in the vicinity are carried out.
Lußsee
Directly next to the Langwieder See, the Lußsee was built from a gravel pit from 1995 to 2000 for the construction of the Eschenrieder Spange , a section of the Munich bypass motorway A99 .
To the south and east of the lake, biotopes were created to compensate for the construction of the motorway, while large lawns for bathers were created in the north and west. The 1.2 square kilometer area lies between the Langwieder See and the Birkensee. A large pebble beach with a promenade and kiosk is located in the northwest corner of the lake. On the western side of the lake, at the point where the Lußsee is closest to the Langwieder See, there is a boathouse of the water watch with a motor lifeboat. In 2010 the Lußsee was voted the cleanest lake in Munich and the surrounding area.
Birch Lake
About 200 meters north of the Lußsee is the smaller Birkensee with an area of 4.6 hectares . This lake, located in the municipality of Bergkirchen in the district of Dachau , is also the product of gravel extraction for a railway line in 1938. The entire lake and the surrounding lawns have been officially designated as a nudist area since the redesign . In addition to nudists, the Birkensee was preferred by young people for a long time, partly because it was only poorly accessible at the time. There were only trails around the lake, it was surrounded by fields. This remoteness made open fires possible, among other things. Another attraction for over 20 years was a rope that hung from a branch over the lake and made it possible to swing in from the bank. The branch from which the rope was hanging has now been sawed off. The seclusion and the original charm of the lake were largely lost due to its inclusion in the local recreation area, which included the redesign of the fields into lawns, the leveling of paths and the flattening of the steep banks. On the remaining steep banks, which had been used for bathing for decades, fenced-in biotopes were built and signs were put up warning of the danger to life from the steep banks.
