As a cirque lake, the Great Arbersee is a relic from the last ice age. A special feature is the swinging lawn. The oscillating lawns, known as floating islands, are mainly found on the western edge of Lake Arbersee. They cover around two hectares of water and were created in the 19th century when the Arbersee was dammed by more than half a meter for the timber drift. In the process, moor blankets detached from the current lake floor and have been floating on the water surface ever since.

Floating islands on the Großer Arbersee

Highlight • Lake

Since 1939, the Great Arbersee with its floating mat areas known as “floating islands”, the imposing Arbersee wall and the adjacent mixed mountain forests has been designated a nature reserve. A wonderful piece of nature.

Arbersee Bog

On the western shore of the Großer Arbersee, the circular hiking trail leads you through an enchanted moor. Wide wet meadows stretch around the path and dead trees protrude from the green meadow.

February 20, 2024,Fluss, Wald und See.....dann die große Enttäuschung

Today I hiked on the route of the "Goldsteig" long-distance hiking trail to the Großer Arbersee. First it went 3 km on narrow paths along the “Großer Regen” river to Seebachsschleife, from there then steadily uphill to the Großer Arbersee.
Several rain showers caused unexpected breaks.
With the Arberseehaus in sight and the taste of hot goulash soup already in …

Today we set off from the Grosser Arbersee in perfect hiking weather and followed the Geigenbach. A very beautiful little river that accompanied us for a while with its pleasant rushing sound. We followed it to the Seebach loop, where it flows into the "Großer Regen" and then continued hiking along this river. The "Großer Regen" is a really beautiful …
