The Wössener See (also Wössner See ) is a small artificial lake in Upper Bavaria in the municipality of Unterwössen in Chiemgau . The lake is located off the beaten track - separated from the B 305 by a small ridge - in a basin behind which the Hochgern ( 1744 m above sea level ) rises. The lake is privately owned and leased by the Unterwössen municipality. Entry to the small open-air swimming pool is free. It is possible to fish.
Emergence
It was not until 1932, when the Hacklauer basin was closed with a dam in the Unterwössen district of Rexau as part of a job creation scheme, that the Wössener See built up behind it. Today it is used for local recreation, as a bathing lake, excellent fishing water and flood retention. The wastewater from the few properties around the Wössener See is drained into the sewage treatment plant of the Achental wastewater association. As a result, the Wössener See has excellent water quality.
Lake and surroundings
Tributaries to the lake: Hacklauer Bach, Rexauer Bach and spring water. Discharge over the overflow of a dam (gradient 7.20 m) into the Wössner Bach - Tiroler Achen - Chiemsee .
