About the spot

Urfeld lies on northern Walchensee, where suitable sunny weather can generate thermal wind. Strength is not guaranteed and can differ greatly between shore and open water. Alpine lake water remains cool even in warm air.

Reliable upwind riding and return margin are essential when the thermal weakens. Use legal parking and established access, avoiding swimmers and protected sections. Never launch beside roads or among trees; check local shore rules.
