There is a lot to experience at the market in Murnau...

Great paved cycle path through the Murnauer Moos, with beautiful views over the moor towards the mountains

Seven tree-covered islands make it the most island-rich lake in the foothills of the Alps. It is located “in the middle of a pre-Alpine moor landscape west of Murnau. The Toteissee, whose basin was formed by the Loisach Glacier, was formed during the Würm Ice Age.

The Osterseen are a group of bodies of water south of Lake Starnberg in the Weilheim-Schongau district in Upper Bavaria. The southern and central Osterseen with the Großer Ostersee belong to the municipality of Iffeldorf, the northern Osterseen from the Stechsee and the Frechensee to the municipality of Seeshaupt. Iffeldorf is around five kilometers by road northwest of Penzberg, 20 km southeast of the district town of Weilheim and 50 km south-southwest of Munich city centre. The 20 larger individual lakes have a total area of around 225 hectares and an average depth of a good nine metres. The Kleiner Gröbensee and about 15 unnamed smaller lakes, each with an area of only a few hundred square meters, are not included here, seven of which are already heavily silted up. The Osterseen and the silting-up zone bordering to the west are located in the landscape protection area "Protection of the Osterseen and their surroundings in the communities of Frauenrain, Iffeldorf and Seeshaupt". The area received this protection status as early as 1955. Since 1981 there has also been the Osterseen nature reserve with an area of 1,083 hectares. About a third of this is on the surface of the water bodies, 494 hectares are high, low and intermediate moors, 172 hectares consist of semi-natural mixed forest. Around five percent of the Osterseen landscape consists of riparian regions, silted-up areas and meadows. The nature reserve is divided into three parts, which are separated from each other by the train line of the Kochelseebahn and the state road 2063: Südliche Osterseen, Nordliche Osterseen and Frechensee. In May 1997, the Osterseen were reported to Brussels as a SPA (European bird sanctuary) and FFH area according to the Fauna-Flora-Habitat Directive. In addition to the Eggstätt-Hemhofer lake district and the Seeoner lakes, the area is the largest and most structured icefall landscape in the Bavarian Alpine foothills. The complex of boggy and nutrient-poor lakes, low, transitional and raised bogs alongside bog and swamp forests with its extraordinary diversity of species in the networked habitats, biotopes and ecological niches is of Europe-wide importance for basic scientific research. The beauty of this landscape has always attracted artists. The painter Georg Schrimpf in particular, a main representative of the New Objectivity art movement, created several oil paintings of the Osterseen in the 1930s.

Always a dream to go here to enjoy nature

The boardwalk is about 60 cm wide and some boards are no longer so trustworthy. But the path is really great! Heath and moorland landscape. Always the mountains in the background. There is a sheltered rest area approximately in the middle. In contrast to the groundwater-fed, mineral-rich fens, rain-fed, mineral- and nutrient-poor raised bogs show a completely different type of vegetation. Sphagnum mosses and grasses (especially sour grass and wreath grass) form a low moss and herb layer. Of course, if they are not drained, they remain forest-free. Peat mosses are the most important part of every raised bog. They grow up to 15 cm per year, while at the same time they die in the resulting peat. As a result, raised bogs grow on average 1 mm per year. The dead peat moss then condenses into pure peat. https://www.murnauermoos.de/index.php/natur-u-landschaft/das-moor

This of many other springs in the Osterseen is located in the shore area. You can go directly over this groundwater source via a footbridge. Crystal clear water lets you see down to the bottom. Very beautiful!

Beautiful view of the large Ostersee
