A popular bathing lake with numerous recreational activities.

The fifth largest lake in Bavaria, ideal for cycling around. The lake offers several bathing spots along its shores in various towns. With its blue-green color, the lake resembles more a vacation by the sea than in the mountains. However, the wonderful Alpine panorama and views of the royal castles speak for themselves. Both can be enjoyed especially during a boat trip on Lake Forggensee. During the winter season, the reservoir is completely drained.Activities: Swimming, cycling, hiking, sailing, rowing, surfing, Forggensee boat trips, fishing, paddle boatingDistance: 16km
