Germany Eissee, Oberstdorf

The Eissee (Ice lake) is called this since most of the day it is covered by the surrounding mountains and just a limited amount of sun can reach it resulting in a large number of months per year being frozen or partially covered with ice.

I used a tripod and self-timer to get this cool selfie with the lake in the background showcasing the size of this location. You can also go closer to the lake and use a low-angle perspective to push the reflection. I came here at midday, and the lake was pretty calm since the surrounding mountains protected it from the wind.

You can only get here by bike or on foot. I recommend renting an electric mountain bike to explore the Oytal and drive it to the Käseralpe. From here, you cannot bring a bike anymore due to the nature reserve area. It's another 3,5km and 400 meters in height hike, which takes about 90 minutes. It's a lovely valley, and riding your bike here is relatively easy, just before the waterfall, where the road becomes very steep.
