Winter hike to Lake Barmsee and Lake Grubsee

Tour description

The largest lake in Alpenwelt Karwendel is the Barmsee and ideal for a winter walk. It is simply fantastic when the winter landscape is reflected in the water of the lake. Even with children, the circular route is varied and easy to master with a walking time of 1.5 - 2 h.
