Lake Faulensee, located above Rieden am Forggensee, is a small moorland lake surrounded by forest and meadows. The natural experience is magnificent. A vast network of hiking and biking trails in the immediate vicinity makes Lake Faulensee an ideal destination. Just a stone's throw from Rieden and Hopfen, it's perfect for a short stroll. But even multi-hour hikes through the diverse landscape can include Lake Faulensee as a destination or stopover. Lake Faulensee can only be reached on foot, by bike, or on horseback.
