Description

The Obersee in German means – “Upper Lake”, it is located in Berchtesgaden National Park which is in southern Germany. It is also known as Upper Lake Constance, is the much larger of the two parts of Lake Constance, the other part being the Untersee. The lake has crystal clear water and it is surrounded by mountains not too far from the Austrian border. It can be called the most secluded and beautiful body of water in Germany.The Obersee was formed in the Alps during the melting of glaciers centuries ago. Surrounded by high walls of the mountains, the lake is almost inaccessible. It is literally hidden from civilization. Virginal purity of this place is confirmed by the growing moss on the tree branches. The maximum width of the lake amounts 14 km. Its area is 473 km². The maximum depth of the lake reaches 51 meters with an average depth of about 30 meters. The Obersee extends between Bregenz and Bodman-Ludwigshafen for over 63 km.
