The Feldsee is a must that you should definitely plan in - not only because it is fascinating and because of the history of its origin, but also because of the breathtaking surroundings in the high moor. :)

The lake is 32 meters deep, a pelvis excavated by glaciers since the Ice Age. The cool, oxygen-rich Karsee is fed by streams from the source-rich east waste of the Seebuck.

The Feldsee is the highest lake in Germany outside the Alps.
The approximately 97,500 m² large and up to 32 m deep Karsee was created by glaciers from the last ice ages.
It is bordered on three sides by steep walls up to 300 m high. It is almost circular, with a diameter between 350 and 370 meters.
The elevation, which is open to the northeast at 1,100 m and which allowed larger amounts of snow to accumulate and maintain, was the cause of the armchair-like shape of the terrain with the steep back wall, the flat floor and the moraine wall in front.
