This idyllically situated lake is a popular destination in Sonthofen in summer and winter.

The Sonthofen lake is great for swimming and relaxing but is also a perfect starting point for a walk in nature. The lake, which captivates with its idyllic yet central location, is often used by the people of Sonthofen as a recreational area. There is a beautiful path around the lake, which is about half an hour long and invites you to walk around the lake even in winter. A large lawn for sunbathing (with changing facilities) and many smaller bathing spots offer the chance to cool down on hot summer days.
