[1] The Wörthsee, Ammersee, Starnberger See, Pilsensee and Weßlinger See make up the five lakes from which the Fünfseenland takes its name.

The lake is largely fed by groundwater, and discharges just 0.3 cubic metres (11 cu ft) per second.

Many years ago a rich but hard-hearted count owned the island.

The count rode back to his castle, which was invaded by a swarm of rats and mice that even stole the food from his plate.

[1] The shore is largely built up, making the lake difficult to access.
