G7 summit bench at Schloss Elmau

Highlight • Viewpoint

The entire hotel complex is reserved exclusively for hotel guests. However, external visitors with their first place of residence in the surrounding area can reserve tickets for concerts and / or a table for dinner. If you stand in front of the hotel, a path on the right goes past the hotel and the hotel complex (not the main street).

Lake Ferchensee

Highlight • Lake

The Ferchensee above Mittenwald in summer is a beautiful lake with crystal clear water and a destination or break for mountain bike tours. In the inn on the bank you can strengthen yourself excellently and if you have desire and time, you can rent a mobile, floating subset for a round on the lake in the local boat rental.

Ferchensee East Shore

Highlight • Lake

The Ferchensee is a small insider tip. Easy to reach with a small walk from Mittenwald. (There is sometimes a shuttle service) or from Elmau. Almost as clear as the Eibsee, but there is a picturesque sunbathing area and nice flat entry points into the lake. In addition, there are not as many tourist crowds here as on other lakes in the region.

West Shore of Ferchensee

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Many locals say Lake Ferchensee is beautiful enough to make you fall to your knees. This natural spectacle at 1,060 meters above sea level near Mittenwald is multifaceted. Sometimes the surrounding forests turn its surface dark green. Sometimes the mighty Wetterstein Wall and the walls of Lake Ferchensee are reflected in it, depending on which side you view the Alpine lake from. The white sand on its northern shore appears almost exotic. The last Ice Age formed Lake Ferchensee, just like the nine other lakes around Mittenwald, Krün, and Wallgau. Lake Ferchensee is a picture-perfect Alpine lake.

Forest Path to Ferchensee

Highlight • Trail

This forest road between Ferchensee is an easy-to-drive and important connecting route between Mittenwald and the lower Reintal. If you want to go to Garmisch, you can easily find your way to Hintergraseck from here. A great alternative for mountain bikers who don't want to ride on the main federal road (Wallgau - Klais). But be careful! The descent from Graseck is only recommended for very experienced mountain bikers. Inexperienced e-bikers should rather take the toll road via Elamau - Klais
