Lake Mummelsee

Nestled in the heart of the Black Forest, Lake Mummelsee is the largest of the region’s seven mountain lakes. This crystalline body of water is renowned for its white water lilies, known as mummel in German, which dot the surface and add a serene beauty to the landscape. According to local legend, a crystal palace lies beneath the lake, home to a community of water sprites who only venture to the surface under the cover of night. Visitors can enjoy the tranquil setting, perhaps imagining the mythical creatures that are said to inhabit its depths.
