The Stadtwaldsee in Bremen – usually simply called "Unisee" – lies directly next to the university in Horn-Lehe. It was created in the 1970s as a result of construction and sand extraction work following the building of the motorway. The lake, which is approximately 15 meters deep and covers 29 hectares, is fed primarily by groundwater. The lake is an easily accessible local recreation area for the residents of Bremen. On the bathing side, there are sunbathing lawns and beach areas.

The University Wilderness at Bremen's Stadtwaldsee (City Forest Lake) is a small nature reserve that provides habitat for a variety of plants and animals. It covers 11.4 hectares and has been a protected area since 1991. The area originated as a secondary biotope following the excavation of the city lake. The resulting spoil was largely left to its own devices. Today, ponds, shallow water zones, and dry sandy grasslands characterize the area. Besides various dragonfly and amphibian species, you might also be lucky enough to spot kingfishers here.

Many small paths lead through the university wilderness, and it's easy to get lost.

The Stadtwaldsee or Unisee is a popular swimming lake. Outside of the swimming season, it's also a great place for birdwatching.
