The Sarchinger Weiher has a water surface of approx. 28 hectares and is located southeast of the village of Sarching in the eastern district of Regensburg . The lake emerged from a former gravel pit, which was also used for construction work, especially during the expansion of the A3 motorway in the Regensburg area. The lake has had its current shape since the 1970s. Originally there were two lakes that were separated by a narrow dam, which ran in an east-west direction. This dam was then partially removed, creating the island and giving the lake its current shape. There are other smaller lakes in the vicinity, which are also due to the gravel mining.

On the north-west, north-east and south-west banks there are several sand deposits to create shallow areas for children. There are also kiosks, toilet facilities and official fire pits for barbecues with campfires on these bank sections. The entire bank area is otherwise overgrown with shrubs and trees, so that there is usually always enough shade.

There is no official nudist area on this lake. However, you can occasionally find “wild” nudists on less visited and more inaccessible sections of the bank. This is usually tolerated.

In the southern half, roughly in the middle of the lake, there is a small island, which in recent years and decades has increasingly developed into a breeding area for rare birds. Here you can u. a. find the night heron . The island can still be entered.

Concerts

In the period from 1977 to 1997, open-air concerts were regularly held at the Sarchinger Weiher, usually on the south bank. In 2008 this tradition was taken up again.
