Waginger See
Connected to the Tachinger lake
The Lake Waging Tachinger and the lake are two connected lakes in the eastern district of Traunstein in Rupertiwinkel, the total is 9 km long and up to 1.7 km wide. You are arcuate embedded in a hilly landscape which is covered with fields and meadows. The lakes together form the unincorporated area of Lake Waging in the district of Traunstein. On the shore borders the communities it Waging am See in the West, petting the south and east, as well as Kirchanschöring in the east. The two lakes are the property of the Free State of Bavaria, for the management of which is the Bavarian Administration State-owned Palaces, Gardens and Lakes in charge.
Description
The Tachinger Lake is the smaller of the two lakes. Commonly it is seen as part of Waging lake, but is its own lake. From the southern Lake Waging it is separated only by a bridged at Tettenhausen constriction. This constriction is formed by a peninsula that extends from the west to the lake and is listed on old maps as Auer corner ( after the nearby farmstead Au or earlier Auer Bauer). It was as far narrowed from the east ( of approximately 155 to 20 meters) that the construction of a bridge was made possible in the 19th century by Seeabsenkung (by laying and lowering of the effluent ) or landfill. Over the bridge leads the county road TS 26, or the main street of the municipality of Waging, which is from the east bank ( district Tettenhausen ) locally called Main Street. In Philipp Apian Landtafel of 1568 Tahensee ( name for the Tachinger lake and the Waging there) is located still without striking constriction.
With water temperatures of 27 ° C in summer Lake Waging is the warmest lake in Upper Bavaria. Because of the separation of the throat, the lakes differ, inter alia, the average temperature and pH.
Nevertheless, the lake can freeze even in severe winters even today; until the 1960s that was almost the case every year. The Tachinger lake freezes while because of the lower average temperature and probably also due to lower currents to a few days earlier than the Lake Waging which can also only from long and extreme winter of high weather conditions over the entire width ( between Kühnhausen and Gaden ) come up with a viable ice thickness.
Received its name from the lake today's health resort Waging am See. At the time of naming the designation " lake " for the place Waging was entitled, but today they can be seen as historically and geographically misleading: 1867 the outflow of the lake, to the south end of the lake at Petting flowing out and in Tittmoning into the Salzach which opens Götzinger Achen, deep down, to win the country, so that the lake level fell by as much as two meters. This now are all places except Tettenhausen, located on the eastern escarpment at the constriction between two lakes, clearly moved away from the lake to the surrounding mostly gently rolling slopes. Is fed the lake from several streams. The largest are the knacker Bach and the Bach hell. These tributaries are, as well Zintenbach, Oetzbach and Graben in the west. In the east, only the Laubbach be mentioned. In addition, cash inflows are through the constriction of Tachinger lake, which in turn is fed by a number of streams.
How many mountain lakes was the landscape profile shaped by glaciers from the last ice age, and that Waging Tachinger lake could arise. From a once vast lakes area the near vicinity, the water level was about 20 meters higher than today, remained next to the Abtsdorfer lake, slowly silted Weitsee and the silted even in historical times Schönramer felt, both located south of petting, in Rupertiwinkel only the Tachinger Lake and Lake Waging left.
Fish fauna
Due to the rapid warming of the lake productivity of the fish population is very large, especially pike (up to 25 kg), carp ( up to 24 kg ), Zander (up to 12 kg) and eels can reach high weights. Since the leading- streams, do not cold and oxygen-rich water, come salmonids such as brook trout and brook trout in Lake Waging hardly ever. Large pike in Lake Waging are little site- faithful, because they have specialized in open water hunting of whitefish shoals. In addition to many small stature perch, which are being heavily stunted, appear white fish such as bream, chub, roach and rudd on masse. In the numerous water lily fields and weedy portions of the shore region tench also occur, which are mainly active at dawn and dusk and go looking for food. The professional fisherman and owner of Waging sea fishing Robert Kneidl supplied even Pope John Paul II with carp to New Year periods.
