Nice alpine hike in Grainau…read more.. Located just a few minutes from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Lake Eibsee sits in the mountain valley directly below the Zugspitz (Germany's highest mountain peak). The Lake Eibsee loop is an easy 4-mile hike surrounded by multiple peaks, breath taking views, and multiple places along the trailhead to stop. While Lake Eibsee is a cold alpine lake, the water temp does get up to the low 70s in summer days so swimming is an option too. The lake has a nice gravel trailhead with a restaurant right on the water at the end of the trailhead... Great place for an easy alpine hike, then German biers and brats when finished!

Emerald-colored lake is very enchanting. On a clear day, you will be able to enjoy looking at…read moreZugspitze (the highest point in Germany) and other peaks with a gorgeous lakeview. The circle easy-hiking/biking trail is about 8km in length, so it'll take about two hours in leisurely-paced to walk around the lake. It's worth your time and effort. It has some hilly parts, but they are not too bad. We even saw some families with strollers. If you hike in the morning, you may not be able to see the mountains too clearly (fog, the sun behind the mountains, etc.). If you wait till the afternoon, you may be able to see them clearly, but you'll risk some clouds moving in as it was the case for us. Mountain weather is very unpredictable for sure. Unfortunately, it was a little too early to enjoy colorful foliage for us, but you can see the beginning of the change. It was a very nice hike around this enchanting lake. Highly recommended if you are in the area and be able to take some time to enjoy it. If you drive to this location, parking lot will cost you about $6 (2 hours) or more depending on how much time you spend. I believe all-day parking was about $12, but I just can't remember exactly.

I definitely like it just the service could be maybe better :)... but it's the location that is so special

It's a reasonably small lake and you can rent boats, paddle boards and small motor boats to enjoy the lake. There is also some beach areas on the lake and plenty of cafes and restaurants around if you want a meal overlooking the lake. Much quieter and nicer but, the water is not so crystal clear as some of the other lakes in the area. Lots of vacation homes around and tons of people and families out by the water soaking in the sun. It seems like a like where lot of locals holiday. A really nice find in the Allgäu.
