Bärnsee, Nature reserve lake in Aschau im Chiemgau, Germany.
The Bärnsee encompasses three types of moors - raised bog, lowland moor, and spring moor - within its protected natural boundaries.
The lake formed approximately 15,000 years ago when glaciers from the last ice age retreated, creating a natural water retention basin.
The surrounding meadows contain rare plant species including primrose, bog bean, globeflower, and orchids that grow in the lowland moor areas.
A circular walking path starting at the Aschau natural moor bath takes approximately one and a half hours to complete at a regular pace.
The lake surface gradually decreases as floating quaking bog vegetation grows inward, making swimming and boating activities prohibited for conservation purposes.
