The Moritzsee is surrounded by forest and lots of fresh air. As soon as you approach one of the surrounding cycling and hiking trails, you can smell the spicy scent of the pine and beech trees, feel the sun shining through the leaves and enjoy the sparkling clear water. Swimming in a lake with drinking water quality. What more could you want?! Please keep the lake and its banks clean. Right next door, the Grillensee invites you to swim and relax in the same idyllic setting.

It's worth resting and catching your breath, or relaxing on the meadow, or splashing around in the lake for a moment (be careful, there may be algae in summer). There is also ice cream, soft drinks and gastronomy.

bathing water in summer, but the banks also invite you to rest, play and do sports. Almost nothing can be seen from the nearby prefabricated buildings.
