Offers a great swimming opportunity with plenty of places to lie down and a beautiful view. There is a car park about 100 metres away and there is also a direct connection to a cycle path.

You can go swimming here, but the water is of course quite cold.

Lake Förchensee

Highlight • Lake

The Forchensee invites you to linger, especially when the sun is shining. The play of colors in the water, depending on the position of the sun, is very impressive.

Three Lakes Hike in Ruhpolding

A beautiful circular hike through the natural surroundings of Ruhpolding. The route leads past Förchensee, Lödensee, and Mittersee lakes – crystal-clear water, stunning views, and quiet forest paths included. Perfect for a relaxing day hike with short breaks along the shores. A real insider tip for nature lovers!

Nice route near Ruhpolding. The tours were supposed to be a bit longer, but my wife's knee problems mean it's not possible to go any longer. But it doesn't matter, it's still nice!

This morning was very rainy ☔️ and the clouds ☁️ hung almost down to the valley. It should clear up by noon. That's why we didn't start our tour until around noon. Our goal was the three-lake area between Reit im Winkl and Ruhpolding. The Lödensee, the Mittersee and the Weitsee are one of the most beautiful lake landscapes in …

The height of summer has now also arrived in

'The picturesque natural landscape with its clear mountain lakes and dense coniferous forests invites you to hike and swim in the summer,' says the …

A beautiful hike past four lakes. 💙🥾🥾
The small ascent gave us a great view over three lakes. The sandwich tasted twice as good up there. 😊

We started at 4 degrees *brrrr* and the fog machine was running at full speed, uncomfortable and dreary. After just a few kilometers the fog slowly cleared and mountains appeared under the bright sun. It was a great hike to and around the Mittersee, with a view of the Weitsee. The area invites you to linger and relax, our path …

With hot temperatures today rather a bathing day planned than a hiking day. Good to reconcile both on the simple circular route in the three lakes area in the Chiemgau Alps. Lödelsee, Mittersee and Weitsee.
The hiking trail is unspectacular and rather boring, but the area is generally quite beautiful. The highlight for me was of course swimming in the …
