We circle one of the clearest lakes in the Alpine foothills and enjoy the turquoise water of the Weißensee as well as the magnificent mountain panorama around Füssen.
The Weißensee gets its name either from its shimmering appearance or from the Alemannic Wizo who settled here around 600 AD. With a length of 2.4 km and a width of just under 600 m, the Weißensee covers an area of 1.35 square kilometers. The lake is up to 25 m deep and has a catchment area of just under 15 square kilometers. The lake owes its shape especially to the ice ages and particularly to the Lech glacier.
