You will be close enough to Eibsee in Germany if you want to explore more stunning clear blue lakes!

Nestled at the foot of Germany's highest peak, the Zugspitze, you'll find the stunning Eibsee, a place of almost unreal beauty. The water is a mesmerizing turquoise, and the best way to soak it all in is by taking the easy 7.5-kilometer walking path that circles the entire lake. This leisurely hike takes about two hours and offers breathtaking views of the rugged mountains reflecting in the crystal-clear water, with plenty of spots to stop for photos or even a chilly dip in the summer.
