The '''Schurmsee''' is a [tarn](/source/tarn_(lake)) that lies at a height of 794 metres in the municipality of [Forbach](/source/Forbach_(Baden)) in the [Northern Black Forest](/source/Northern_Black_Forest) in [Germany](/source/Germany). It is located on a line between Hundsbach and [Schönmünzach](/source/Sch%C3%B6nm%C3%BCnzach). The lake covers an area of 1.6 hectares and is up to 13 metres deep. Its volume is about 180,000 cubic metres. An area of 7.8 hectares, including the tarn and its shore areas, was established as a [nature reserve](/source/Naturschutzgebiet) in 1985. Around this reserve, a [protected landscape](/source/protected_landscape) has been declared. The woods on the mountainsides around the lake have also been designated as a ''[Schonwald](/source/Schonwald)'' (protected forest). The lake and its surrounds are a [geotope](/source/geotope). In addition, the tarn and its environs are a [Habitats Directive](/source/Habitats_Directive) protected and a [bird reserve](/source/Special_Protection_Area) conforming to the European nature conservation act, Natura 2000.

From the 960-metre-high mountain of ''Schurmseehöhe'' there is a good view over the whole lake. There is a circular walk around the tarn. The normal route to the Schurmsee runs on a wide [forest track](/source/forest_track) from  Schönmünzach for a distance of about 4 kilometres and climbing through around 300 metres.
