lake Eibsee in the late autumn sun

Eibsee Lake at the base of the Zugspitze mountain

The Eibsee Lake is situated approximately 100 km southwest of Munich and near the town of Grainau. The lake is 9km away from the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and at the foot of the Zugspitze (Germany’s highest mountain). The lake has a surface elevation of 973 m and its surface area is 195 hecatares.

The panorama around Eibsee Lake is breathtakingly beautiful and the crystal-clear water in the lake is amazing; the colour of the lake varies from deep blue to turquoise.

This entire area is ideal for hiking and biking in the summer and for every winter sport imaginable.
