The Plansee, located about 7 km as the crow flies southwest of the Ammersattel, is connected by a canal built in 1908, about 300 m long, with the Heiterwanger See, which originally lay about 68 cm higher, from which it, along with the additional inflows Spießbach and Torsäulenbach, derives its water. To the northwest, the Plansee has an outflow through the so-called Little Plansee and via the Archbach to the Lech.
