Mittenwald Old Town

Highlight • Settlement

Such a wonderful city center is rare to find. Everywhere Lüftlmalereien on the houses. You don't even know where to look first ❣️

Ferchensee... Many locals find the Ferchensee "to die for" - beautiful enough to make you fall to your knees. The natural spectacle at 1,060 metres near Mittenwald is varied. Sometimes the forests around it turn its surface dark green. Sometimes the mighty Wetterstein wall and the Ferchensee walls are reflected, depending on which side you look at the alpine lake from. The white sand on its northern shore looks almost exotic. The last ice age formed the Ferchensee, just like the nine other lakes around Mittenwald, Krün and Wallgau. The Ferchensee is an alpine lake like in a picture book.

West Shore of Ferchensee

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Many locals say Lake Ferchensee is beautiful enough to make you fall to your knees. This natural spectacle at 1,060 meters above sea level near Mittenwald is multifaceted. Sometimes the surrounding forests turn its surface dark green. Sometimes the mighty Wetterstein Wall and the walls of Lake Ferchensee are reflected in it, depending on which side you view the Alpine lake from. The white sand on its northern shore appears almost exotic. The last Ice Age formed Lake Ferchensee, just like the nine other lakes around Mittenwald, Krün, and Wallgau. Lake Ferchensee is a picture-perfect Alpine lake.

Western Shore of Lautersee

Highlight • Lake

Wonderful panoramic view over the lake and across to the dramatic Karwendel peaks. Particularly beautiful when the mountains are reflected in the water on windless days.

Lainbach Waterfalls in the Lain Valley

Highlight (Segment) • Waterfall

Very nice waterfall in the Laintal. In the upper part of the gorge, a small bridge over the waterfall leads to the grotto, with the statue of the Virgin Mary. The upper end of the Laintalklamm can be reached via a few hairpin bends. Afterwards, the trail again runs almost flat along the Lainbach to its source, the Lautersee at about 1,020 meters.

Laintal Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

One can commit the Lainbachtal from both sides. Both routes are very good to walk. With stroller a problem with buggy it should be possible. Benches for small breaks are sufficiently available. To run well for young people and seniors alike. Mountain boots not mandatory but always useful.

Laintal and the Lainbach Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The Laintal is wildly romantic and very well suited for a short hike. The water ripples slowly next to the hiking trail. You can also see the Lainbach waterfall at several points along the way.
