Jetty and view of the Simssee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Not only that you have a beautiful view over the Simssee, the mountain panorama is also beautiful to see here.
Last but not least, you can enjoy the view with a drink on the lake terrace of the Simssee Stuben.

March 2, 2025,Rundumadum um den Simssee

From the hiking car park to the campsite, you only go along the road. That wasn't so nice. From the campsite, we went into the forest. Due to the thawing of the ground, it was quite muddy in places 🙈
You should pay attention to that☺️
It was still a nice tour🤗

Very nice and varied tour. There are still 3 small drawbacks. 1. On the northern shore you have to walk about 1 km along a road towards the lookout tower. 2. Many paths that are designated as hiking and cycling paths have been really challenging on foot. Either these sections were heavily trafficked or in the forest so narrow, muddy …

Continuation of the personal "Bavarian Lake Challenge", circumnavigating the 10 largest natural Bavarian lakes in one year. After cycling around Lake Starnberg and Lake Chiemsee, now walking around Lake Simssee. The south and east banks are covered with very nice hiking trails, the north and west banks are not so nice as they are mostly on tarmac roads. Nevertheless, it …

July 22, 2025,Iron Lake Challenge "BAVARIA" - See-Nr. 10: Simssee

On my way to Austria, I took a break at the Bavarian Simssee and walked around it.
It is Bavaria's tenth-largest lake.

Shortly after setting off, I met an elderly gentleman who was observing something on the ground. He picked it up and placed it in his hand, and I asked for a photo.
You can see a (unfortunately …

The first really beautiful paths near the lake through forest and meadows. In between there were short swampy stretches because it had rained too much the day before. The last 5km weren't so nice, all along the road. Not much traffic but far away from the lake because everything is built up and therefore private. Too bad ☹️ And unfortunately …

In bright sunshine I walked around the Simssee today. On the north-western side of the bank, the path only follows the road and the railway tracks. A welcome and recommendable change here is the Seestüberl, where you can sit right on the lake shore and enjoy an iced coffee. The view is wonderful, you just want to stay seated 🤣. …

Recommended paths almost not accessible for the last 6km. In bad weather - and afterwards - the paths are very, very,…. , very muddy.
