We visited the Garmisch area the first week of November and the weather turned out to be much better than we expected (no rain) so on a clear day we had to go explore Lake Eisbee. Just 20 minutes from the center of town the lake was breathtaking from just the parking lot! We paid €4 to park in a lot close to the lake, but there is free parking up the hill a bit if you don’t mind the extra walk. After several tantrums Presley finally won and ended up wearing flip flops for our hike (y’all the looks I got!) and I got lots of good ‘I told you so’ moments when she complained – but we only hiked around about a third of the lake so we weren’t outside for too long! During warmer weather the lake is full of canoes, paddle boarding, and lots of outdoor activities – I would love to visit the Lake during the summer! You can get around the entire lake which is about 4 miles and if it were a tad bit warmer we totally could have done it! The views are incredible and why is it that kids love throwing rocks into water so much?
I mean, can you believe this is a real place? I hope to see this place during every season while we live only 5 hours away.
