Trip report by BestHike editor Rick McCharles
I really wanted to use the word circumambulating. 😀
Eibsee (“yew lake”) is a lake in Bavaria, Germany, 9 km southwest of Garmisch-Partenkirchen and roughly 100 km southwest of Munich. …
It is at the northerly base of the Zugspitze (2,950 metres (9,680 ft) above sea level and 3.5 km to the south), Germany’s highest mountain. …

I like this video from Eduardo Rojas. Interesting use of drone and Insta360.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
Cycling and hiking around lakes is super popular in Bavaria.
This was already my 4th or 5th in a couple of weeks out of Munich.
Like many others, I liked the look of the lake from atop Zugspitze.

And like many others, I went directly to Eibsee on getting back to the base of the big mountain.
Gorgeous colours from certain angles.

AllTrails – 7.2-km Eibsee Loop. About 2 hours.
