The Schluchsee was originally a glacial lake of the Feldberg Glacier, the level of which was around 30 meters below that of today's lake, which was created by the damming of the Schwarza. Today it is 7.3 kilometers long and 1.4 kilometers wide in a northwest-southeast direction, the deepest point on the bottom is 61 meters below the lake surface.

At the end of the path along the shore, a small pavilion awaits you. At night it is illuminated and definitely worth a visit.
