🇩🇪 Let’s visit Lake Eibsee – Germany
✨ Lake Eibsee is known as one of the most beautiful lakes in Germany, thanks to its crystal-clear blue water, stunning Alpine backdrop, and peaceful yet vibrant atmosphere. It’s perfect for a relaxing getaway or a nature-filled one-day trip from Munich.
🚶 How to get there:
Start your journey at Munich Central Station. With the Deutschland Ticket, you can take a direct train to Garmisch-Partenkirchen Station. Trains run every hour, and the trip takes about 1.5 hours, covering roughly 100 kilometers.
From Garmisch-Partenkirchen, transfer to Bus 9840 and get off at Eibsee stop (right in front of the Eibsee Hotel). You can pay the fare directly to the driver. A round-trip ticket costs €12 per person.
🟢 Note: The Deutschland Ticket is not valid on this bus, but the Bayern Ticket is accepted. Buses depart every hour and the ride takes around 50 minutes.
🌿 Highlights of Lake Eibsee:
✔️ A scenic 7.9 km walking trail circles the lake. It takes about 90 minutes and is perfect for a peaceful walk or taking beautiful photos.
✔️ I visited on June 9, 2025, which happened to be a public holiday. The weather was lovely with mild sunshine and cool temperatures. It was quite busy, but still very enjoyable.
✔️ Popular activities include:
• Boating / Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP)
• Taking the cable car up to Zugspitze, Germany’s highest peak
• Cycling
• Hiking
• Sunbathing by the lake
The whole trip was super easy and convenient. Don’t worry about getting lost—just follow the other travelers. Most of them are heading to Eibsee too!
