Worth it?
Reaching Schrecksee is a real undertaking. The lake sits at 1,813 meters in the Allgäu Alps, hikers start from the Bad Hindelang area, and one creator titles their post a 12-hour hike for the view. It suits fit hikers who are fine with a long day and changeable conditions: the lake is known for fog, so the clear views in the videos are not guaranteed. One of the posts was filmed at sunset.
Before you go
- Plan a full day. One creator describes a 12-hour hike.
- Expect fog; the lake is known for an eerie, misty look.
- If you want the sunset shot from the videos, plan your descent in fading light carefully.
Highlights
- Germany's highest alpine lake
- Popular hiking destination from Bad Hindelang
- Known for its eerie, fog-covered atmosphere
