In spring you can see the "empty" Forggensee and if really little water is in the reservoir, you can also drive over the old Via Claudia bridge at Roßhaupten / run.

There are already so many views of the Forggensee as a highlight, but this one is also beautifully captured! :-) But it's also really nice!

When the weather is nice, you have a great view of the lake with a stunning Alpine panorama, making cycling a pleasure for all the senses.

The dry lake is always worth a visit for a sea trip.

An excursion in the dry Forggensee is very worthwhile and offers many opportunities for discovery

Unfortunately it is repeatedly announced that the Forggensee is empty, that is not true. The Forggensee is congested from its full congestion of 781 meters by a maximum of 16 meters in the winter half-year. The water is gone from Füssen to Osterreinen where the water depths are very shallow.

The Forggensee has never been empty since its completion in 1954. In the winter, the water is 781 meters from the full backlog by max. 16 meters. This means that there is always water from Easter to the dam.

Except for construction work on the dam, it can only be admired from November to May. As eganahl already wrote, the water is then drained until it has its lowest level in March.

The pictures show places from the actual Forggensee, but the place is on the neighboring lake Ilasbergsee. But it falls just as dry. Except for construction work on the Forggensee dam, it can only be admired from November to May. Then the water is drained 16 meters until it is at its lowest level in March. During this time it is possible to walk from here through the dry Ilasbergsee and the dry part of the Forggensee to Schwangau.
