The Egglburger See is the largest lake in the district of Ebersberg in Upper Bavaria. The Egglburger See is 33 hectares in size and is located on the west side of the district town of Ebersberg directly (360 meters away) on the southern edge of the Ebersberg Forest, specifically the Eglhartinger Forest. The lake is 1100 meters long from northwest to southeast, up to 410 meters wide, and lies at an altitude of 553.0 meters. According to monastic records, an abbot Altmann had the Ebrach dammed around 1040, thereby creating Lake Egglburg. On the shores of the lake are the hamlets of Hinteregglburg and Egglsee, as well as the homestead of Ziegelhof. To the south of the lake there is a moss (moor and meadows), where the Moosbach, the largest tributary, begins. The little river Ebrach represents the outflow of Lake Egglburg in the southeast. Lake Egglburg is at the beginning of a chain of small ponds and lakes along the Ebrach. Since the lake is in a nature reserve, bathing is only permitted after August 1st. Due to the shallow depth of only about two meters and the large amount of mud and reeds, it is not very suitable as a bathing lake - on the other hand, it is an important breeding and resting place for e.g. T. rare birds. In recent years it has lost its importance as a nationally important breeding ground for black-headed gulls, mainly because of increasing silting up; the black-headed gull colony there was at times one of the largest in Bavaria.
