A hidden gem of a lake, deemed a well-kept secret, is known for its exquisitely warm temperature.
Explore the picturesque Moorsee, nestled in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, and experience a unique hiking trail that offers more than just a walk in the park.
The journey begins at Fischerhäusl, located at Seeweg 103, 82435 Bad Bayersoien. This charming kiosk, complete with a small beer garden, serves as the starting point for your adventure. Here, you can rent rowing boats for a leisurely paddle on the lake or enjoy a hearty meal, as Fischerhäusl's warm kitchen operates until 19:00, Tuesday through Sunday. Please note that parking at Fischerhäusl is payable.
The hike around Moorsee is signposted and laid out as a parcours, making it easy to follow. The path is wide enough for strollers or wheelchairs, ensuring accessibility for all. Along the route, you'll find a panorama seating area by the water, offering a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the stunning views over the lake and the surrounding mountains.
For those seeking a more immersive experience, Katja Wegener recommends taking a dip in the moor water as a great way to end your outing. The lake, on average, is only two meters deep, making it safe for swimming.
The moor trekking pool is located near the moor education trail, where you can learn about the origin and significance of the moor. The trail is an excellent resource for understanding the history and ecology of this unique ecosystem.
If you're looking for more information about the region, consider picking up "GlĂźcksspots im sĂźdlichen Oberbayern," a book published by Droste Verlag. Written by author Heike Plantikow, the book offers insights into the hidden gems of Southern Upper Bavaria, including Moorsee.
To reach Moorsee, take the regional train from Munich Central Station to Murnau, then change to the RB to Saulgrub. From there, a bus can be taken to Bad Bayersoien. Alternatively, you can drive to Fischerhäusl and enjoy the scenic drive through the countryside.
Boat rentals are available at Fischerhäusl for 4 euros for half an hour and 6 euros for one hour (for a maximum of 4 persons). Whether you choose to hike, swim, or boat, Moorsee promises a day filled with natural beauty and tranquility. So, pack your bags and prepare for an unforgettable adventure!
