Circular Trail at the Germering Lake

Description

Lake Germering is a beautiful lake in the south of Munich and offers a wonderful lake circuit for visitors of all ages. The loop trail is barrier-free and therefore also suitable for people with disabilities.

The lake circuit starts on the north shore of Lake Germering and leads along the shore, past picturesque forests and meadows. The route is well signposted and repeatedly offers beautiful vantage points from which you can enjoy the lake and the surrounding nature to the fullest.

The circular trail is especially beautiful in spring and autumn, when nature is in full bloom and the lake shimmers in a beautiful deep blue hue. The lake also offers a beautiful scenery in winter, when it is covered by a thick layer of ice and the surrounding trees are covered by a thick layer of snow.
