Fuenfseenland

Germany

The Fuenfseenland ("Five Lakes Land") is a lake district in Upper Bavaria south of Munich, comprising five lakes - Ammersee, Starnberger See, Woerthsee, Pilsensee, and Wesslinger See - set in a hilly glacial landscape.

The Fuenfseenland lies in Upper Bavaria, in the Alpine foothills between the Ammersee and the Starnberger See, and takes its name from five lakes: Ammersee, Starnberger See, Woerthsee, Pilsensee, and Wesslinger See. The area spans parts of five districts and belongs to the Ammer-Loisach-Huegelland landscape unit, shaped by glacial erosion and moraine deposits reaching up to 760 m above sea level. It functions as a popular recreation area for both Munich and Augsburg.
