Germany Lake Eibsee
Eibsee is a lake in Bavaria, Germany, 9 km southwest of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and roughly 100 km southwest of Munich. It is 973.28 meters above sea level and its surface area is 177.4 hectares. It lies at the base of the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain.
Photography Tips
Mornings here are magical! In April- September you can get great side light from the sunrise here. Note that in the winter months, the sun does not hit the lake in this direction. I used a Tripod and a 24 mm lens to capture this particular photograph.
Travel Information
From the parking lot at the head of the lake, it takes about 25-35 minutes to get to this spot if you walk counterclockwise. Parking will cost around 5 Euros as well.
