The Ungeheuersee is a flat bog pond, which is fed by the Krumbach. As part of the only raised bog in this low mountain range, the lake has been protected as a natural monument since the 1930s. The name has nothing to do with monsters, but derives from the words "Unger" for forest pasture and "Heyer" for enclosures. A very idyllic place.

There are many opportunities to hike to Monster Lake, most of which are good for children too. My boys had a lot of fun on a tour and want to go back again (see if the monster may be seen in the summer ...)
