Schmalensee

The Schmalensee lake is located near the Bavarian market town of Mittenwald . It lies close to the road between Mittenwald and Klais, right next to the characteristic humpback meadows with a unique view of the Karwendel mountains. The lake is around 7 hectares in size and has a maximum depth of 2.5 meters. The Schmalensee is surrounded by reeds, a few trees and lush meadows. It is also home to a variety of fish species and lies 980 meters above sea level. In winter , it can also freeze over and, with a bit of luck, the Schmalensee will turn into a magical ice rink surrounded by the snow-covered landscape.

At Schmalensee there are numerous opportunities to fully enjoy nature and relax. Whether you want to enjoy a leisurely stroll around the Schmalensee or plan a hike in the area - glistening water against the backdrop of the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains make for a fantastic view of the lake. The lake is also worth a visit in winter. From Mittenwald, a short hike past the Gröbl-Alm takes you to the Schmalensee. From Krün , the route via the Maria Rast chapel and the Buckelwiesen meadows is recommended - by bike or on foot. There is also a nearby bus stop of the same name.
