Weitsee, Mittersee and Lödensee form the three lakes area that extends between Reit im Winkl and Ruhpolding.
The change of the seasons is particularly impressive here. Enjoy the best view of the three lakes from the summit of the Dürrnbachhorn mountain.
Its status as a nature reserve is intended to preserve the beauty of lake Weitsee. Swimming is allowed in the fresh, clear water from some bathing spots, perfect refreshment after a hike to Röthelmoos or a bike tour from Reit im Winkl across the Dürrfeldkreuz.
In winter we prepare cross-country trails across the Three Lakes Area, in autumn clouds of mist create mystical photo motifs.
If you cycle or hike from Reit im Winkl to Weitsee, pack some ingredients for a picnic. Although the water is of drinking water quality, there is neither a shop nor a café. In winter, when cross-country skiing, the small hut on the Mittersee lake and the Sachsenbacheralm offer food and drink, about halfway between Seegatterl and lake Weitsee.
