Augsburg

Parks and lakes in Augsburg

Augsburg’s green landscape ranges from formal 18th-century gardens to expansive recreational lakes. The city center features the Rococo-style Hofgarten and the historic Fronhof, while the city's outskirts provide large-scale water features like the 17-hectare Kuhsee and the 33-hectare Weitmannsee. These spaces offer a mix of manicured historical landscaping, natural biotope conservation, and active swimming areas fed by local river systems.
