The Bannwaldsee is a 2.28 km² lake in the Ostallgäu district , Bavarian Swabia , Bavaria . It is located 4.5 kilometers northeast of Füssen , about a kilometer east of the Forggensee , into which it drains via the Mühlberger Ach. Large parts of the bank consist of natural silting zones. In the southeast there is a campsite and bathing areas.

The entire area of the Bannwaldsee belongs to the municipality of Schwangau ; its east bank borders on the parish halch .

ecology

The silting up and swamping of the Bannwaldsee have favored the creation of large-scale raised bog and low bog locations as well as wetlands with litter meadows , sedge beds, reed beds, as well as bog, quarry and swamp forests. Living raised bogs dominate the north bank, some of which have been degraded. Lime-rich fens occur on the west bank.

Water quality

The water quality is mesotrophic . The water renewal time is 5.2 years.
