The Walchensee invites you to go hiking, swimming and cycling. A beautiful lake to relax and unwind. You must have been here once.

Very beautiful on every side. Well attended in summer.

The Walchensee is one of the deepest (maximum depth: 190 m) and at the same time with 16.40 km² one of the largest alpine lakes in Germany. The lake is located at 800 m above sea level, 75 km south of Munich in the middle of the Bavarian Prealps. With its entire area, including the island of Sassau, it belongs to the municipality of Kochel am See. In the east and south it borders with its banks on the municipality of Jachenau. The landowners of the lake and island area are the Bavarian State Forests. In contrast to most of the other larger lakes in Bavaria, the lake is not subject to the Bavarian Administration of State Palaces, Gardens and Lakes. Since 1924, the natural lake has served as a reservoir for the Walchensee power plant located 200 m below the Kochelsee.
