Germany Forest Reflection at Geroldsee, Bavaria

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

Lake Gerold (also known in German as Geroldsee or Wagenbrüchsee) in Bavaria, Germany is a moorland lake without inflow and outflow. Therefore, the surface is very calm and there is an almost perfect reflection, especially during autumn with the colourful trees around the lake.

Photography Tips

Bring a tripod and pay attention to the wind if you want that perfect reflection in the water. ND filters can help with that as well although they will soften the reflection which can also add a nice effect to your photo.

Travel Information

It is best to park in Gerold and from there take the hiking trail towards Barmsee on that side of the lake facing the main road.

I like it but I would have liked it more with a more open plan, with more autumn above and more water below. Cheers

Dear Fructuoso, thank you for your feedback. I particularly liked the density and concentration of the image detail. However, I have looked again in my files to see if I can find another photo with more angle. I have just added this to the location. Please feel free to let me know what you like better now. Best regards, Birgit
