When we hear the word - the beach, in the head arises one established association - sea, sand and relax. But who says the sea has a monopoly on vacation? Often the lakes attract no less than the sea, and in some cases even more tourists than the seaside. Ammer Lake can be attributed to this.

Some general information about Ammer Lake. It is located in Germany (Bavaria), total area - 46.6 km², the maximum depth is 38 meters.

The coast of Ammer Lake is a real find for lovers of saturated turquoise water, and even these places are not traditionally famous for memorable landscapes - your vacation certainly won’t be any worse!

It is dominated by grassy beaches, that primarily located within the settlements. Perhaps that is why Ammer Lake is popular among travelers.

The coastline of Ammer Lake is mostly straight, but the absence of winding shapes is compensated by the abundance of natural vegetation that is often present in the region. This vegetation creates a natural shadow that protects vacationers from the sun’s heat on hot days. These can be either rare trees or even dense forest areas, and it is important to be able to find them.

There are no secluded beaches here. So if you are looking beach holidays outside the hustle and bustle of the city, the coast of Ammer Lake is probably not your option.

This beach is absolutely stunning, perfect for leisurely walks and summer swims. It's much less crowded than Herrsching, making it a peaceful escape, especially during the pandemic. The sunset views here are particularly breathtaking.
