What travelers are saying

This gorgeous alpine lake, surrounded by forests and mountains, is wonderful for a short walk or a longer stay.

If you are a fan of aerial views, take the cable car or hike up the Herzogstand mountain for breathtaking views of the surroundings.

So many great sites & benches for a picnic lunch, swimming, SUP, boating or stop at one of the cafes along the way (Walchensee).Totally worth the drive to enjoy!

One of the most beautiful places ever!

Lake Walchensee is lesser known than its other lake counterparts (such as Lake Kochel) but the beauty of it is that it is not overcrowded. We headed there on a summer's day afternoon and had plenty of space to ourselves. The waters were clear and...More

Walchensee is not far away from Garmish. I used a car. But you can check buses availability locally or through internet. Bus network is good in Germany.
