This hike leads around the Barmsee lake near Krün, set against the spectacular backdrop of the Karwendel and Wetterstein mountains. The trail starts in Krün Ost and leads through sparse pine forests and across flowering hummock meadows. Rare alpine flowers such as gentian and, with a bit of luck, edelweiss grow in the sheltered shore areas in early summer. The crystal-clear water of the lake is a habitat for many water birds and offers a welcome refreshment on the north-west bank on hot days. The route is mostly flat on well-maintained forest and hiking trails.
