← Back to outings around Grainau
Not every holiday day needs a summit or a long walk. Badersee offers a quieter change of pace: water, woodland and views of the mountains around Grainau.
A small lake for a slower day
Badersee lies in Grainau at the foot of the Zugspitze massif. Clear, greenish water and the mountain backdrop make it a lovely destination for a short walk. Take time to notice the details rather than treating your visit as another item on an outing list. It can be a particularly pleasant choice for your arrival day or a day of rest.
A walk with something to discover
The tourist information describes a mermaid figure beneath the water to the west of the island. Whether you can spot it depends on the light, your viewing angle and the surface of the water. It might become a small treasure hunt for the family, although a sighting cannot be guaranteed. The reflections and the changing views between woodland and water are reason enough to pause.
Choose a route from Am Huberpark that suits you
Your route depends on whether you want to head straight to the lake or combine the outing with a walk through the village. Use Grainau’s official walking suggestions and check the connection from your starting point. A single walking time from our apartment would be misleading without specifying the route. Even a short outing calls for suitable shoes and a look at the weather.
Stop for refreshments or keep it short
Grainau’s visitor information mentions the Hotel am Badersee as a place for a break. Check its current opening hours and what is available directly with the hotel. You can also make the lake a short outing and return to your own kitchen afterwards. On holiday, it is pleasant to have the choice between eating out and spending the afternoon at your own pace.
Badersee or Eibsee?
Badersee suits a smaller outing within Grainau. Eibsee offers a longer lakeside circuit and can form part of a day involving the Zugspitze cable car. Each has its own character. Consider visiting them on different days so that you have time to enjoy each place rather than moving from one photo stop to the next.
Stay with your own terrace and garden
Continue the relaxed pace at Am Huberpark. Around 60 m² accommodate two to four guests, with a separate bedroom and a living room with a sofa bed. Tell us your preferred dates: we will check availability and respond with a personal offer.
