Murner See

PH ( acidic) / former lignite mining

The Murner Lake is a recreational lake in the Upper Palatinate lakes land with an area of about 90 hectares. Although he is not as big and famous as the Steinberger See, he is visited in the summer bathers, divers, boaters and campers, as the banks have already been restored. A lawn, a restaurant, a mini golf course and a campsite were created. Right next to the lake is the Murner Brück Staffelsee, which is used in addition to bathers by sailors and divers.

History

Before reclamation to recreational water the lake was Murner together with the bridge Staffelsee a mining site for lignite. This was, as in the whole mining area (present-day Upper Palatinate Lakeland ) customary extracted in open. The separation of the two lakes to Brückel and Murner lake was afterwards by the heaping up of a dam with tailings material. The flooding of the former brown coal mines in the Upper Palatinate entire lake area was carried out by the rising groundwater after the drainage was adjusted step by step, and lasted for about two decades.

In addition to the relatively well-known in the region lakes ( Steinberger, Murner and Brück Staffelsee ) are still various other present, which are completely excluded from the recreational operation.

Water quality

Although the Murner See how all the lakes of the Upper Palatinate lakes country has no direct inflows (pure Grundwassersee ), the water is very clean. The pH value of the water is indeed in the acidic range, however, the lake has become sparse vegetation and of divers were already fish, including pike, seen. This suggests a steady improvement in the water quality

Diving
