Rissersee is a small, peaceful lake above Garmisch-Partenkirchen, offering stunning views of the Waxenstein and Zugspitze peaks. It’s a great spot for a relaxing break, a short walk, or a refreshing swim in summer.
There’s paid parking available directly at the lake, and a hotel with a lakeside restaurant invites you to stay a little longer. A unique highlight is the historic bobsled track from the 1936 Winter Olympics, parts of which can still be seen along the trail.
Whether you're here for photography, a quiet afternoon, or a glimpse into local history, Rissersee is always worth the visit.
