The lake Ammersee has a surface area of approximately 47 square kilometres (18 sq mi) which makes it to the sixth largest lake in Germany and a great place for sightseeing. The lake is located in the southwest of Munich, the Bavarian capital at an elevation of 520 metres (1,700 ft). The lake Ammersee has a maximum depth of 81 metres (270 ft), a lenght of 16 kilometers (52300 ft) and a maximum width of 6 kilometers (20000 ft). Like the lake Starnberger See / lake starnberg, the lake Ammersee developed as a result of the melting of the ice age glaciers.
