The town is a popular vacation destination because of its beaches and houses several resorts.[1]
Sailing events were held off Schilksee during the 1936 Summer Olympics.[1]
During the 1972 Summer Olympics, held in Munich, Germany, the Olympic Yachting Center was built at Schilksee for the sailing events of the 1972 games.[2]
