Thumsee

Thumsee is a small, clear mountain lake on the edge of Bad Reichenhall, surrounded by forested slopes and easy walking paths. Popular with swimmers in summer and walkers year-round, it offers a quieter alternative to busier Alpine lakes. A circular trail leads around the shore, with viewpoints, shaded stretches, and places to stop for a meal or drink. Its appeal lies in combining scenic nature with easy access from town, making it a good choice for a relaxed half-day outing.
