A dark mountain lake, surrounded by steep wooded slopes, this could be a very atmospheric spot but at the height of the season, with the sun out, you'll be sharing it with several hundred others. There are many facilities - restaurants, a gift and postcard kiosk, loos, pedaloes to rent - which make it a convenient daytrip for families.

Very nice place for whole family.
You can rent a pedalo for 4 persons and float on it approx. on 75% of the lake. You can't swim there but I think it's not a problem. You can also go around the lake by foot, but it's better without stroller (there are roots, stones). The footpath is under the trees so it's great place where to go in hot weather.
You can see beautiful water flowers on the water surface.
There is big paid parking place, small shops with souvenirs, restaurant and toilets.

Situated on a bend on the road toward the sky area on Arber, a Bavarian mountain not far from Bodenmais. Authentic Bavaria and highly popular. Very busy in the summer at the week-ends. Hot and cold menu and local beer. You can rent peddle boats and go around the cold water lake.

After a long walk from Grosse Arbor, we found the cafe at the Arborsee closed and a few tourists milling about miserably. Few signs to show you where to walk next

the cost of the cable seemed a bit much but given we spent all day 'on the mountain' it worked out okay. We had a great day climbing up and over the rocky 'peaks' and enjoying the amazing views. Lunch was super fast given how busy they were and great value and my 'German soup' was fantastic! A great day out!

A walk around the Grosser Arbersee is our all time favourite when visit the Bavarian Forest. The walk is mostly on flat ground and along plankwalks at the end of the lake.
There are great photo opportunities at any time of the year. Parking fee for cars is Euro 3.00. Avoid weekends during the major public holidays as parking can get crowded.
The walk itself around the lake takes about one hour and one cannot get lost as the path is wide and just winds around the lake.

The lake is located at the foot of the Arber Mountain. It can easily be reached from Bodenmais by bus. You can take a stroll around the lake and in the summer boats can be rented. There is also a cafe/restaurant where you can try some local food.

We originally intended to go up the Grosser Arber in the cable car, but it was unfortunately closed... So we drove a couple of minutes to the Grosser Arbersee for a walk around the lake. What a great decision! Although it was already mid-April, the lake was still partly frozen and there was snow all around, great for the kids. It was a really nice walk through the woods alongside the frozen lake, and not strenuous for the older and younger members of our party. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping here.

A short walk from the parking area brings you to the lake, from there you can walk around the lake and enjoy the air and the impressive views, the hike is perfect for families with kids, I am certain everyone spending a few hours there will always enjoy it!

Visiting Abesee in October, the day was rather cold. There was a reconstruction going on on the "original" Aberseehouse, that spoiled the view and the silence a bit. Before heading for the walk, we had a nice lunch in the Aberseehouse. The path leads around the like, but we didn't go all way around, considering there were small children in our group. Despite that, as far as we went, it was i nice stroll.
