View of Lake Walchensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have great views across the Walchensee/Silbertsgraben to the town of Walchensee. Here you can take a break and cool off in the lake. But beware, the lake is very cold.

This long-distance hiking trail has the …

July 29, 2021,Walchensee: Von Einsiedel nach St. Margareth über Klösterl zurück und Tretboot-Fahrt

The starting point of our walk on Walchensee is the parking lot in Einsiedel. We take the flat, paved path on the south side of the Zwergern peninsula to the meadows of the peninsula. A visit to the listed church of St. Margareth, which was inaugurated in 1344, is worthwhile.
