October 1, 2025, View of Schafirrsee

A tranquil lake with an idyllic location on the outskirts of the city. Popular with walkers and cyclists who want to take a short break. Depending on the season, the trees and sky are reflected in the water with an almost kitsch beauty—ideal for a few minutes' rest and enjoying the view.

The Schutter is a left tributary of the Danube, flowing through the Altmühltal Nature Park and the city of Ingolstadt. The name first appears as a settlement name on a 2nd-century inscription: VIK(ani) SCU[T]T(arenses). Nevertheless, the name may be of Germanic origin and related to the verb *skeut-a- "to shoot" in the sense of "fast-flowing, rushing water." Alternatively, it is derived from the Celtic scutar-a = "sandy-muddy body of water." Source: Wikipedia

Perfect for relaxing after a run or walk at the lake. "Donauwurm" is a water playground with water features, rocks for seating, a jetty that extends far into the lake, and loungers for soaking up the sun.

Small lake with a beautiful single-track hiking trail around it through bushes and trees. Definitely worth a visit!
