Tips

The Geroldsee, also known as Wagenbrüchsee, is an idyllic mountain lake in Bavaria, Germany. It is located near Krün and Wallgau, south of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and is surrounded by picturesque alpine scenery.

The Geroldsee is known for its breathtaking beauty and is often used as a photo motif. The lake has clear, turquoise water and is framed by the surrounding mountains, such as the Wetterstein and Karwendel mountains.

Due to its picturesque beauty, the Geroldsee is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility and scenic surroundings, and perhaps even have a picnic on the lake shore.

It should be noted that the Geroldsee is part of a nature reserve and it is therefore important to respect the environment and keep the lake clean. 👍❤️🥾

Great lake with a gigantic view of the mountains. Swimming is possible, but the water is not as clear as previously assumed - it is more reminiscent of a bathing pond, but still a beautiful lake :) Be careful - don't trample on the beautiful herb meadows! A path leads up to a photo spot with the rustic wooden huts in the foreground - you shouldn't miss it.
