Winter Olympics Lake

Riessersee is an artificial lake in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. It hosted speed skating and ice hockey events for the 1936 Winter Olympics (Germany is by the way the only country that hosted both Winter and Sommer Olympics in the same year) Now this lake is a popular bathing location on hot summer days and a trailhead for some great hiking tours in the area.
