Grüne Lache

Highlight • Lake

The Lache is the smallest and also the highest of the three lakes, Vilsalpsee, Traualpsee and Lache. It gave the Lachenspitze its name and is located directly at its foot, below the Landsberger Hut.

Traualp Lake

A tough climb, not suitable for everyone. But you will be rewarded for it. The beautiful mountain lake offers a wonderful view before you set off on the last stretch to the Landsberger Hut.

September 3, 2023,🇦🇹 Sicht auf den Vilsalpsee und Schrecksee – Landsberger Hütte Runde von Neu Kienzen

Today I went on a tour that had been on the agenda for a long time. After everything fell into place... Enough time, suitable weather and not too warm air... Ideal for this round. In the morning we took the bus from the parking lot to Vilsalpsee, from there we continued on foot along the lake. Great reflections in the …

The Schrecksee more than inspired me.

August 14, 2021,4 Bergseen Tour

Once a year, the Schrecksee is a must - it's simply my favorite mountain lake😊
I've already walked to the Schrecksee in many ways, but that's definitely the nicest option. And in my opinion one of the most beautiful tours in the Allgäu. If you get there a little earlier you can park directly at the Vilsalpsee and save 6km. …

Always beautiful. And this time the other way around with Shanti as a super nice hiking companion 😊
The beginning was a bit tough because it was very hot. But that can also come from the bottle of port wine the night before 😅
Then it went great 😀👍
Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to get back to the last bus. …

August 10, 2025,Mit Tochter auf Entdeckungstour: Vilsalpsee, Traualpsee, Lache, Schrecksee

My daughter asked me if I would go to Schrecksee with her, and of course I couldn't say no 😃 So, we set off early in the morning with our bikes in our luggage to the Tannheimer Valley. We parked at the Schwendt-Kienzen car park (daily fee €5) in Tannheim.
From there, we cycled to Vilsalpsee and cycled halfway around …

July 27, 2024,🇦🇹 Schrecksee, ⛰ Steinkarspitze, Landsberger Hütte - Runde von Tannheim

With the best 🌤 weather, we went on another mountain tour today.

Starting in Tannheim, the path first led to the Vilsalpsee, along the right bank of the lake to the Vilsalpe and then right up the climb ↗️ towards Rauhhorn. At the next fork in the road, however, keep left to follow the Jubiläumsweg below the Rauhhorn to the …

July 14, 2023,Schrecksee 🇩🇪 via Kirchdachsattel (1927 m) und Hintere Schafswanne (1956 m) 〽️🇦🇹

Parked at the paid car park P1.
The first bus then went to the Vilsalpsee. The bus was already full at this time. To my fear of a mass ascent to the Landsberger Hütte, most chose a different or opposite route. Always nice and in the shade, we went up to the Traualpsee.
After a short break in the Landsberger …

July 2, 2022,Allgäuer Alpen - Durchs Tannheimer Tal - Vom Vilsalpsee zum Schrecksee - Rundweg

It's worth getting up early for. Again this time. The starting point is directly at the Vilsalpsee, which, however, can only be accessed by car before 8:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. First we went to the Schrecksee.

Then continue on the Saalfeld Höhenweg to the Traualpsee. A strenuous but beautiful day tour for experienced hikers 🎒🏔🌱
