Located deep in the Allgäuer High Alps, the Rappensee offers a stunning alpine experience. The long hike to the lake makes an overnight stay at the charming Rappensee hut a great option.

At the lake photo spot, you can capture the shimmering water with the dominant mountain peak rising majestically behind it. During summer, a wide-angle lens helps include the vibrant flower meadows surrounding the lake for an even more breathtaking composition.

The Rappensee hut itself is also very photogenic, especially with the small lake in the foreground, creating a perfect rustic alpine scene. Don’t miss the spectacular mountain views opposite the lake at sunset—truly a highlight for landscape photography.
