The crystal clear water of this lake had all kinds of beautiful colors ranging from blue to turquoise. We hiked the loop around the lake which was about 7km leading us along the lake and through partial forest.
I only had a few minutes to scout and shoot at the Eibsee, Germany. When I saw this golden birch tree standing lonely on that island, I knew I had to get the long lens out and get an isolated shot of it. Now, one year later, this is still one of my all time favorites. I just love the contrast between the dark greens and the bright golden leaves. The reflection is really cool as well. Since last year I have been to the Eibsee a few times, every time I had very limited time to explore the area, but funny enough I always got nice images. The area, especially the forest is just so beautiful...

Easy train to Garmisch. Quiet and staff were so friendly and helpful. They even had stamps for sale for our letters and postcards. Breakfast was excellent with a big variety of foods, even an omelet/egg station. Train to Eibsee/Zugspitze is a mini block away and takes you right there (train passes ...

7.4/10 Good! (259 reviews)
Comfy hotel for the price. Staff was polite and the location was amazing. Only critique I have is they could clear the snow in the parking lots a little more so there’s more parking spots.

We were there during the off season so...there weren't many restaurants open at this time. We had to go into Garmische to enjoy a meal.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Close to Garmisch. But, Garmisch is getting big and loosing it’s small town ambiance.

4/5 - Good

Grainau is very small, but it is next to Garmisch so there are a lot of dining and shopping options nearby. Grainau is a great place to stay to take advantage of the Zugspitze, Eibsee, etc.

5/5 - Excellent
