This deep glacial tongue basin lake was formed during the Ice Age and, on clear days, is dominated by the Alpine peaks. Its shores have been a popular excursion and villa area since the 19th century; King Ludwig II died in its waters. Sailing, swimming and steamer cruises define summer at the lake.
