Tourist Attractions
Kochelsee
The Kochelseee is owned by the Free State of Bavaria and is divided between the areas of the municipality of Kochel (70%) and the municipality Schlehdorf (approx. 30%). The name Kochel is derived from the Latin "cocula" for head, cone or peak. The Kochelsee owes its formation to the glaciers of the last Ice Age, which carved out the lake basin as a hollow. As the lake gradually silted up, a raised bog formed in the northern area, because the lake is also the shallowest here, in winter a layer of ice also forms first on the north bank.
The inflow and outflow of the Kochelsee is the Loisach, the water quality of the cold and oxygen-rich water is considered to be very good. Over the Walchensee power plant (hydroelectric power plant) is the Kochelsee with the higher one Walchensee connected.
The foothills of the Alps in the Kochel Mountains in the south of the lake are Sonnenspitz, Jochberg, Ducal estate and Home garden.
