The Walchensee is one of the deepest and at the same time one of the largest alpine lakes in Germany. It is 75 km south of Munich in the Bavarian Prealps, at 800 m above sea level and with its entire area including the island of Sassau in the municipality of Kochel am See.

Hiking

There are always places along the eastern shore where you can swim in the lake. Please take your rubbish with you so that others can have a nice place too. Thank you very much
