Beautiful place to take a break. You can lean against the numerous huts and enjoy the sun or the shade, with a view of Karwendel and Geroldsee.

Opposite Klais train station there is an Eni petrol station; next to this, on the right, yellow signs and a hiking map invite you to approach Barmsee and Grubsee.

A beautiful little lake near Krün, accessible only on foot or by bike. However, keep in mind that coming from Lake Barmsee, you'll have to push your bike up a hill for about 200 meters. It's doable, though.
