The Seebensee is a natural high mountain lake (rock pool lake shaped by the Ice Age) at an altitude of 1,657 meters south of Ehrwald in the Mieminger Mountains . It is framed in the east by the Vorderen Tajakopf , in the south by the Vorderen Drachenkopf and in the west by the Ehrwalder Sonnenspitze .

The Seebensee has no significant above-ground inflow and an outflow via the Seebenbachfall and the Geißbach into the Loisach . The lake can be reached from Ehrwald on a forest path over the Ehrwalder Alm, over the Seeben via ferrata , a difficult via ferrata , or via one of the two secured mountain climbs Hoher Gang or Immensteig . From Biberwier the lake can be reached via the Biberwierer Scharte, from Leutasch through the Gaistal.

The managed Seebenalm is located near the lake (northeast). To the south, on a rocky terrace above the lake, is the Coburg Hut of the German Alpine Club .

The surface of the lake covers around 6.5 hectares , but used to be larger. By analyzing the soil and vegetation, it can be proven that a large area southeast of the lake (today as a mainly grassy plain, especially from a bird's eye view ) is a now silted up former part of the lake area.
