The Eibsee is to the west of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and was one of the stops for the cogwheel train to the Zugspitze, although you can take the train just to the lake and back. After our time on the Zugspitze, my husband and his sister hiked around the lake while I headed back to the hotel.

I was surprised at how quickly they finished the five-mile hike around the lake - it took them about an hour and a half to cover the relatively flat trail. The day was perfect and the mountains reflected in the still water of the lake.

There are bathrooms at the train station just in case.

Directions: in Grainau (west of Garmisch) off of Road 23 - follow the signs to the lake or the Eibsee train station

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
