Lake

The Kochelsee

At the foot of the Bavarian Alps lies the Kochelsee — a clear pre-alpine lake with the mountain panorama of the Herzogstand in the background.

Kochelsee is located in the Bavarian foothills south of Munich, where the plain meets the first Alpine peaks. The lake is fed by the Loisach river and dominated by mountains such as Herzogstand; the higher Walchensee lake lies further upstream. The water is clear and cool, with shores that are partly shallow and partly steep and forested. Swimming, sailing, hiking and cycling in the mountain landscape shape leisure time at the lake.
