    Hard to reach, but not so crowded. Wonderful nature! The lake is naturally cold, but in summer you can already swim.

  • The idyllic Gaisalpsee invites you to enjoy the mountain world up here before you start the descent into the valley.

  • Beautiful lake under the Rubihorngipfel. The meadows around invite you to sunbathe. Camping and fire stations is not allowed (nature reserve). Both as a break in the climb and as a refreshment on the descent a great stop.

  • A wonderful place to rest: In the sunshine it is warm, sheltered from the wind, overlooking Gaisalphorn and Rubihorn and on the descent the Alpengasthof Gaisalpe waits with a delicious Kaiserschmarrn ... ..

  • The lower Gaisalpsee is a high mountain lake at 1508 meters altitude in the Allgäu Alps, northeast below the Rubihorns (1957 m). About the Gaisalpbach drains the 3.5-acre lake to Iller.
    The lake is located on the trail from Reichenbach to Nebelhorn on the Gaisalpe, Lower and Upper Gaisalpsee, Gaisfußsattel, Gund and Gmund Edmund Probst House.

  • One of the most beautiful mountain lakes in Bavaria that I have been able to explore on my tours so far 💙 Is rarely idyllic in the middle of a high Felsmassov with several surrounding peaks including the Rubihorn! Definitely take a short break, enjoy the view and only then continue hiking😊🏞

  • Great hike: with Nebelhorn lift to Höfatsblick mountain station, then downhill on the 7 above the upper Geissalpsee to lower Geissalpsee. Very nice mountain lake and ideal for a rest. Also suitable for a stop is further down the Geissalpe, but takes a little longer from the lake. Passing Wallrafweg past the ski flying hill, we return to Oberstdorf. Very nice, long tour. Have fun!
