Weitsee

Highlight • Lake

Super great area. The lake invites you to cool off, which is also allowed here. And it goes straight on with the two other lakes. The landscape reminds a little of the highlights, well a little 🤠

Lake Förchensee

Highlight • Lake

The Forchensee invites you to linger, especially when the sun is shining. The play of colors in the water, depending on the position of the sun, is very impressive.

Nice route near Ruhpolding. The tours were supposed to be a bit longer, but my wife's knee problems mean it's not possible to go any longer. But it doesn't matter, it's still nice!

October 15, 2022,🌧🍁 Lödensee - Mittersee - Weitsee

This morning was very rainy ☔️ and the clouds ☁️ hung almost down to the valley. It should clear up by noon. That's why we didn't start our tour until around noon. Our goal was the three-lake area between Reit im Winkl and Ruhpolding. The Lödensee, the Mittersee and the Weitsee are one of the most beautiful lake landscapes in …

The height of summer has now also arrived in
Chiemgau 🌞 It's too warm for another alpine pasture conquest today 🥵. The area between Ruhpolding and Reit im Winkel is called 'Little Canada' by the locals. 'The picturesque natural landscape with its clear mountain lakes and dense coniferous forests invites you to hike and swim in the summer,' says the …

May 21, 2025,Kleinkanada Ruhpolding

A beautiful hike through the Three Lakes region between Ruhpolding and Reit im Winkel. It's not for nothing that this area is affectionately called "Little Canada." Pure nature at every turn. It's easily accessible by public transport. The only drawback we discovered was the lack of, or very few, rest areas, such as benches or similar, for relaxing and enjoying …

November 8, 2024,Mittersee, Weitsee- Ruhpolding

We started at 4 degrees *brrrr* and the fog machine was running at full speed, uncomfortable and dreary. After just a few kilometers the fog slowly cleared and mountains appeared under the bright sun. It was a great hike to and around the Mittersee, with a view of the Weitsee. The area invites you to linger and relax, our path …

August 19, 2023,Drei-Seen-Gebiet Lödelsee, Mittersee, Weitsee

With hot temperatures today rather a bathing day planned than a hiking day. Good to reconcile both on the simple circular route in the three lakes area in the Chiemgau Alps. Lödelsee, Mittersee and Weitsee.
The hiking trail is unspectacular and rather boring, but the area is generally quite beautiful. The highlight for me was of course swimming in the …
