2026 Krun Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

I originally wanted to catch the late autumn at Geroldsee, but when I arrived, I found that the mountain area had already had its first snowfall last night, turning into a glassy world that is especially beautiful. Fortunately, it cleared up today, and the scenery around the lake is very clear and photogenic. We also walked a bit further to Barmsee. Please note that after getting off the bus, there is still quite a long walk. After the snow, the path is icy and slippery, so friends going there must wear good anti-slip and waterproof shoes. Also, the snowy lake area is very cold, with a feeling of several degrees below zero, so be sure to dress warmly.

On the first Saturday of November, we set off from Klais and spent half a day hiking through three lakes: Geroldsee → Barmsee → Grubsee. The route is easy, but the scenery is stunning. No need to drive, light packing is enough, it’s the kind of Saturday gently healed by nature. 🚆 How to get to Klais from Munich? 📍 Munich Hbf → Klais (direct route, no transfers needed) • RE61｜1h26m • RB6｜1h40m Trains run frequently, making a day trip completely stress-free. 🥾 Route Information (even beginners won’t be scared) • Total distance: 11.3 km • Duration: about 3 hours • Elevation gain/loss: 150m each (almost effortless) • Route type: loop, no backtracking • Order: Geroldsee → Barmsee → Grubsee (can also be done in reverse) The route map is shown in the first picture, very clear and easy to follow. 💧 The scenery of the three lakes is completely different, so you won’t get aesthetic fatigue along the way. ① Geroldsee｜Meadow × Lake × Snowy Mountains = Postcard Scene We started at Geroldsee and were captivated at first sight. The meadow is wide open, the lake surface is as still as glass, and in the distance is a very clean snowy mountain line. 📸 The easiest lake to take great photos of, looks good even without filters. ② Barmsee｜The Largest Lake When the wind blows over the lake, a layer of fine sparkling waves appears, giving a feeling of “peaceful yet full of vitality” that is especially pleasant. 📸 Perfect for resting and chatting with friends. ③ Grubsee｜“Movie Forest” at Dusk By the time we reached Grubsee, it was starting to get dark. The forest was completely quiet, only the sound of the wind could be heard. There was a bit of a “thriller movie atmosphere,” which made the whole hike feel especially story-rich at the end. 🐂 The natural scenery along the way is a huge bonus The trail between the lakes is the most relaxing part of the entire route. Along the way, you’ll encounter slowly wandering Angler cattle, and a few wooden cabins scattered by the roadside, like a small village from a cartoon. Looking up, there are snowy mountains quietly accompanying you in the distance. As you walk, you suddenly realize: Hiking can be this simple and this beautiful. ❤️ Why is this route worth saving? ✔ Three completely different lake views ✔ Low difficulty, easy for beginners ✔ Accessible by train from Munich ✔ Comfortable loop, never boring This is the first article in our hiking series, and we will continue to update hiking routes～✨
