    We made a round trip from the Vilsalpsee via the Landsberger Hütte to the Schrecksee. Wonderful experience, worth it! But you should start right in the morning.

      Breathtaking view of the Schrecksee and the mountains beyond.

          The view of the Schrecksee is worthwhile in good weather in every season

            Nice view and there is less going there than at the lake itself.

              The Schrecksee is a true jewel of the mountain lakes

                It lies beautifully there, the Schrecksee😍.

                  The climb was worth it. The small mountain lake with its island is fascinating. Likewise the view of the surrounding mountains: On the Falken and Aelpelekopf.

                          Such a wonderfully situated lake. You feel more like Ireland

                            Starting early in the morning from the Hinterstein car park, 1300 meters above sea level, then reached the wonderfully situated Schrecksee, the effort of the ascent was really worth it
