    Tips

    From June 1st to October 15th, the lake is fully dammed and offers a wealth of recreational opportunities. All imaginable water sports can be enjoyed here. Whether you're a sailor, surfer, cyclist, or hiker, everyone is guaranteed to find something to their liking. Sailing schools offer courses, canoeing alone or with a guide is possible, and pedal boats can be rented. The Forggensee boat service is a major visitor draw, offering large and small tours through Lake Forggensee, as well as special or themed trips. Cycling or hiking tours can ideally be combined with a boat trip. If the entire walk around the lake is too far, you can board at a pier and travel the rest of the way by boat.

    Clear, turquoise lake water conveys a South Sea feeling, which can be fully enjoyed at the countless bathing spots. Bavaria's fifth-largest lake is easily accessible almost everywhere. The bathing spots around the municipality of Rieden are particularly popular, such as the Dietringen bathing area or the Halbinsel bathing area with a view of Neuschwanstein Castle. There are also several campsites near the lake.
