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. …

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.
