Walking or running along Machsee is really relaxing. During summer it is always crowded. Best time is late spring and early autumn.

A calm place to rest and get sun in summer and for exercising, walking or meeting friends. I always love to spend an evening once a week.

Beautiful, relatively small area filled up with pleasant atmosphere, stunning architecture, small lake plus it's cute habitats, and huge old trees. Nice place to take time and relax while exploring the city.

Very nice place to relax and walk around. Quite calm and many benches are there to sit around the lake. There is also an adjoining park to have picnics or just hangout.
