Tips

about an hour ago

At Kochelsee, two landscapes meet. To the south, the Herzogstand and Heimgarten rise steeply from the water, while to the north, the lake levels out into the vast Loisach-Kochelsee moors. A glacier carved out the basin during the Ice Age, and the lake was much larger back then. Today, the Loisach flows through it, and additional water arrives from the higher-lying Walchensee via the Walchensee power plant. You can swim, paddle, or take a boat trip across the lake here. When the Föhn wind blows, it whistles powerfully down from the Kesselberg, which delights everyone who likes to surf.
