View of Lake Walchensee

Highlight • Viewpoint

Fascinating, as the lake reflects and seems almost infinite, because the distant shore between the trees is barely visible.

July 14, 2024,Blick auf den Walchensee – Ausblick auf den Walchensee Runde von Kochel am See

A very beautiful tour, close to nature in the first section along the waterfall.
Later on the paths are wide, so you have to meet a lot of cyclists and e-bikes.

September 14, 2021,Ausblick auf den Walschensee & Kochelsee

The round starts in Kochel am See Oberjoch campsite Kesselberg. Total distance is about 9km. The route is an extension of an existing hike. In addition, the path down to the run-of-river power station, above Lake Walschensee, is a little higher to a beautiful bench where you can have a wonderful snack and a little further under a power pole …

November 2, 2024,Zwischen Walchensee und Kochelsee

The start is at a car park, the day ticket costs 7 euros.
On the circuit you have a beautiful view of the Walchensee and Kochelsee. A certain level of sure-footedness is required along the stream and the waterfall.
We had the best autumn weather and a fantastic view of both lakes
