NATURE HIGHLIGHT AT THE ZUGSPITZE

Lake Eibsee

Highlights at Lake Eibsee

DISCOVER THE CARIBBEAN OF THE ALPS

 

Lake Eibsee, just minutes away from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, is one of the most breathtaking lakes in the Bavarian Alps. With its clear turquoise-blue color and surrounding landscape, it offers a backdrop of unparalleled beauty. The lake covers an area of around 177 hectares and is surrounded by dense forests and the highest peak of the Wetterstein mountain range, the Zugspitze.

 

It is a popular destination for those who want to enjoy nature and outdoor activities. Climbers can take on the challenge of the ascent to the nearby Zugspitze summit, while for water sports enthusiasts, the lake with its clear and refreshing water is perfect for swimming, kayaking and stand-up paddling. Boat hire is available to explore the lake with its many small islands at your leisure and enjoy the picturesque views.

 

For those who want to take it a little easier, the Eibsee offers idyllic picnic spots on the shore where you can enjoy nature to the fullest. 

 

The lake is a special place at any time of year. In summer, you can enjoy the surrounding nature in full bloom while lying on the shore. In autumn, the landscape turns into a colorful spectacle when the leaves of the trees glow in warm tones. In winter, the Eibsee provides a magical backdrop for walks around the frozen lake and immersing yourself in a winter wonderland.
