Grünwaldsee
This spellbinding mountain lake is located at 1,938 metres above sea level and can be reached by the Grünwaldkopf funicular, which is operational only during the summer months. In addition to passengers, the funicular cabin can fit bicycles, prams and even dogs, which is what makes Grünwaldsee such a popular family resort. It is surrounded by winding hiking trails and verdant pastures, which are ideal for walks and mountain biking in warm weather.
