About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Alpsee near Füssen starts with a number that does not fit the lake in front of you, and asks how a basin this small came to be. It reaches back to the last ice age and the rock beneath the valley, then to the rules that keep the shoreline wild and the water free of motors. Best heard from the shore by the castle, with the far bank in view.
