Barmsee

Highlight • Lake

Very beautiful lake with a wonderful mountain panorama. Swimming area with a large meadow on the northwest shore, but no kiosk. From Krün best reached by bike, but also on foot feasible.

What great winter weather 🤩
Winter wonderland with a dream lake.
It takes about 1.5 hours to walk around the lake.
