Barmsee

Highlight • Lake

Very beautiful lake with a wonderful mountain panorama. Swimming area with a large meadow on the northwest shore, but no kiosk. From Krün best reached by bike, but also on foot feasible.

Across the vast meadows, you can enjoy a great view of the Wetterstein Mountains and, above all, the Zugspitze - if the summit is not in the clouds.

Winter wonderland with a dream lake.
It takes about 1.5 hours to walk around the lake.
But we always need almost twice as much to enjoy it 😌☀️😍

Very nice tour around the Barmsee for hikers and cyclists. Almost no gradients, so it is suitable for all fitness levels. Mosquito spray recommended as there are many wetlands in the area. @Krün @Barmsee @Mittenwald @Hiking
