Mummelsee

The Mummelsee, a 17-meter-deep lake, is located on the western slope of the Hornisgrinde in Germany's Northern Black Forest. Along the Black Forest High Road, tourists are known to frequent it in great numbers. According to mythology, the King of the Mummelsee and a Nix are said to reside in the lake. The Mummelsee is the largest of the seven cirque lakes in the Black Forest, measuring 800 meters in the circle. It is also the deepest and highest at 17 and 1036 meters, respectively.

The lake is covered in myths and traditions about water spirits and the King of the Mummelsee living there, which has greatly boosted its appeal and romance to tourists. This beautiful lake is surrounded by luxuriant greenery and provides hiking and bike paths, paragliding options, or simply a chance to get away from it all and enjoy some peace and quiet.

The Schwarzwaldhochstraße's path helped the lake become popular with tourists. Directly adjacent to the visitor's parking lot is a larger structure that houses the hotel, two restaurants, a grocery and gift shop, and a paddleboat rental.
