Hikes at Grüntensee

Walkers can enjoy a picturesque view of the lake along the dam wall. The trails are flat in this area, making them a good choice for families with children. For all fitness levels with some stamina, the hike „Grüntensee and Kletterwald“ is a good choice. You can reach the starting point by car or by public transport. The tour is about 9 kilometres long and takes an average of 2.5 hours. It is one of the most easily manageable walks and is challenging mainly because of its length.

For brave explorers, a visit to the Grüntensee climbing forest is worthwhile. There, big and small alike can climb high and your hiking holiday will become a joyful experience for the whole family with a bit of variety.

If you want to try something more challenging, we recommend a trip to the Allgäu Alps. There you will also find the mountain that gives the lake its name, the Grünten. In this region, you can look forward not only to varied hikes, but also to picturesque views of the region. The mountains extend all the way to Austria, with the Grosse Krottenkopf being the highest mountain at 2,656 metres – the Grünten is 1,737.9 metres high. You will find good hiking trails here.

However, you still need to be prepared for hiking tours in the mountains with appropriate equipment. Make sure you have sturdy footwear and spare rainwear with you. Solid hiking skills are required for the tours in the Alps.
