크빈헤라드‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪15‬개의 호수

The hike here is somewhat underestimated. It's much more mountaineering than hiking. Therefore, dogs larger than a handbag should not be taken along. Furthermore, there's a constant risk of slipping on the trails due to the loose, sometimes coarse gravel and the smooth stones higher up the mountain. A change of clothes is advisable, but not absolutely necessary. Some of the climbs and descents are very steep, so snacks and plenty to drink are a must. If you make it to the top, congratulations! You'll be treated to a wonderful view of a glacier with a turquoise mountain lake—dreamlike. Have fun and a successful hike with good weather ☀️

Currently (September 2024) the path around the lake to the so-called beach (please do not swim, it is a drinking water reservoir) is closed, so you only have to walk about 5km there and back from the parking lot.

A beautiful area for hiking. The first part is stroller-friendly, but sturdy, waterproof footwear is recommended for the path around the lake to the beach on the other side. The river in the first part of the trail, with its rocks, tempts climbing, but climbing is strongly discouraged. On the day we hiked there, the path was closed because a boy had fallen into the water and sadly died. You can also swim in the lake if you want, if the cold water doesn't put you off. I've been there three times now, and unfortunately, the glacier is receding.

Impressive view of the glacier, which unfortunately is melting inexorably.

Unfortunately, we had to stop our hike in May at that point. Immediately after the rope, there was no way through due to the snow and ice and no longer any view of the actual hiking trail. It's a shame so close to the lake, but that's the disadvantage if you want to do the tour in May.

The panorama over the beautiful lake is overwhelming. Unfortunately, the glacier tongue is retreating higher and higher and will soon no longer be visible from here.

The path to the glacier lake is initially a rough, steadily rising gravel path, then it goes steeply uphill in the forest over hill and dale. The komoot route is not entirely correct, but it is well signposted. Instead of 1:20 hours, we needed a total of 2:20 hours for the climb with short breaks.

Bathing is not allowed in this area. Drinking water protection area!
