    Tips

    The Toteissee, the basin of which was formed by the Loisach Glacier, was created in the Würme Ice Age. Because of its protected location between the molasse ribs of the Murnau Mulde, the lake is only shallow. The base of the lake, the water level of which was about ten meters higher towards the end of the Würme Ice Age, has many conglomerate islands of the Upper Oligocene that were polished by the ice (so-called Wörth conglomerate).

    In the so-called Staffelsee inventory there is a report of a church property called “Staphinseie”. “Stafnensis” can be found as a Latinized form. It is not sufficiently clear whether these sites actually point to the Staffelsee.

    But there is also a certain similarity to the Bavarian short forms Steffl or Stefferl for the first name Stefan or Stephan. The abbreviations Stoffl or Stofferl for Christoph can also be used. Other derivations bring the numerous shoals with the term “step” in the sense of stairs and the name in connection (easel / easel is a dialect expression in southern Germany with this meaning).

      Very scenic tour on the border of the foothills of the Alps to the Karwendel region on very good trails. On the way on the northern shore great swimming. But sparse gastronomy. So think about food.

        A small bench on the bank, somewhat protected from all the bicycle / walker traffic, offers the ideal place for a break with a view of the magical lake.
