Very idyllically situated lake. Worth a visit or at least a detour if you are driving in the region. Great beer garden with a view of the lake.

Awesome, you wouldn't believe that there was a lot of flight activity here if you didn't know. On the site of the old Riem airfield there are now miles of hiking and cycling trails, sports and playgrounds and an enormous amount of green space.

The landscape park directly surrounding the lake with the north bank, jetty and beach measures another approx. 6.1 hectares. Source and further information https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemer_See

The park is suitable for those who like the trade fair city with its street canyons and long rows of houses and like an artificial park with unnaturally long lines and axes. There are many beautiful and naturally landscaped parks in Munich (Ostpark, Westpark, Englischer Garten)
