Eibsee Rundweg Beach

I visited Zugspitze years ago and was amazed by the stunning turquoise water from the observation deck on top of Germany. Today, we rented e-bikes and rode from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to the beach, following the classic Rundweg. The sunlit water is beautiful from every angle. You can rent a boat, hike, bike, swim, or just relax on the beach. It's a great place to visit alongside Zugspitze. Just be aware that there may be traffic on weekends and public holidays.

Definitely worth a visit. I've been to this beach several times and it never disappoints. It can get busy, but it's popular for a reason. Suitable for all fitness levels, it's a great spot to go with friends and family. Parking is easy and costs 8€. You could easily spend 2-5 hours there. It's dog-friendly and there are plenty of trash bins around the lake.

The Eibsee is a glacial lake in southern Germany with clear turquoise water, small bays, and islets, all set against the backdrop of the Zugspitze mountain. A sandy trail less than 7 kilometers long surrounds the lake, considered one of the most beautiful walks in Bavaria. The path is wide and comfortable for cyclists, as well as suitable for strollers, starting right at the parking lot by the lake. The northern side of the lake offers the most stunning views of the islets and the Zugspitze mountain. Completing the entire circuit around the lake with leisurely stops takes about three hours, but I recommend allowing more time to swim, take photos, and explore the shores off the main trail. Venturing off the main path leads to small beaches and secluded spots with unique views of the islets. To avoid the crowds, it's best to visit early in the morning or late in the evening. Despite its popularity and easy car access, there are hidden gems to be discovered at the Eibsee.

The time spent at Eibsee in the evening was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. The glistening lake waters with the Zugspitze in the background made for a captivating sight. Renting a paddleboat and gliding peacefully across the serene waters was both calming and exhilarating, offering a unique view of the beautiful surroundings. The lakeside promenade was bustling with laughter and the enticing smells of delicious food from nearby stalls. The lively atmosphere created by other visitors added to the festive vibe. As the sun started to set, the colors in the sky reflected in the water, creating a perfect moment. Whether taking a leisurely walk, indulging in local treats, or simply admiring the scenery, Eibsee provided an unforgettable and joyful evening by the water.

This beach is honestly one of the most stunning places I've ever visited. It's truly breathtaking and absolutely incredible. It's a real marvel of the world with its gorgeous water and fantastic atmosphere. There are plenty of spots to relax and there's always something worth photographing.
