Hiking trail around Lake Spitzingsee

Description

 The Spitzingsee, Bavaria's largest high-mountain lake in terms of area, harbours a breathtaking natural landscape. At an altitude of 1084 m above sea level, it lies idyllically embedded in a basin between the Brecherspitz and the Rotwand.

The dreamlike trail around the Spitzingsee is flat without any major differences in altitude and is therefore made for everyone.
