From the Grünten you can see the Alpsee very well when the weather is nice. In addition to hiking, you can also go mountain biking here.

What a beautiful lake, just wonderfully located with bathing opportunities and restaurants right on the lake promenade of Bühl. And if you then drive from Immenstadt to Oberstaufen (or vice versa), you can drive directly along the lake (actually a pedestrian path🙈😎). From the bike path, however, you have a better view due to the elevated position.
