There are beautiful paths for cycling on Lake Moritz. You can even cycle all the way around the lake. From the northwest shore you have a great view of the entire lake.

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.
