Isarstausee Krün

Isarstausee Krün is an alpine reservoir shoreline used as an informal bathing area. Access is open, without gated entry or fixed opening hours. Visitors arrive on public paths and choose a place along the natural shore, respecting local signs. Daytime use in fair weather is normal, with late morning to afternoon offering warmer light. Mornings are usually quieter and better for finding a discreet spot. The shore surface is gravel and stone with uneven footing. Water shoes help for entry and for moving along the bank. The water is clear reservoir water and generally cool, even in summer. Entries are natural and unsupervised, so wade in slowly and check footing. There is no lifeguard service. Parking is in designated areas near Krün, followed by a walk to the water. Public transport serves the Krün-Mittenwald area, after which walking on local paths is required. Bring everything needed for the stay, including water, food, sun protection, and a bag for waste. There are no toilets, showers, or regular food service at the shoreline. Shade is limited along the mostly open shore, and midday summer sun can be strong. Weather is alpine and can change quickly, so bring an extra layer and watch the sky. Short swims and half-day lakeside stays are typical. Dogs may be present on paths and shore, so keep animals controlled and give other visitors space. Choose a spot that keeps clear distance from paths and other shoreline users before settling for a swim. If other visitors approach, cover up promptly and keep interaction brief and respectful.
