Mummelsee

At the recommendation of Sascha from our hotel, we first visited Mummelsee after arriving in the Black Forest.

The kids had fun with the photo op:

We walked around the lake.

The trees, wildflowers, and rocks were lovely.

The girls loved sunbathing on the deck at the far end of the lake. We walked around the lake on the trail.

The Mummelsee takes its name from the white water lilies popularly known as “mummel.” The lake is 1,036 meters above sea level. It’s a glacial cirque lake.

The lake is a great place to play at the playground, shop, walk, sunbathe, rent a paddleboat, eat, or stay.

We all loved the mermaid statue!

The kids wanted a photo with her.

We loved seeing the fun rock formations and little trickles of water along the trail.

The kids had never seen a rock dispenser before. So much better than candy!

This was a great activity after a couple hours in the car!

The kids played at the playground for a bit. We glanced in the gift shops – lots of fun things and snacks for now or later. We got a drink to share.

Mummelsee is about 2 hours from Ramstein and 3 hours from Spangdahlem.
