On Sunday my host family took me to Lake Eibsee.
This lake sits at the foot of the Zugspitze- Germany’s highest mountain,
and has a surface elevation of almost 1000m.
The drive there and the lake itself gave me a taste of Bavaria,
made me want more,
and reminded me why I chose this area as my home for the next year…
Snow covered mountains,
lush, green forests,
and crystal clear lakes-
(at least the part that isn’t covered in snow).
I can’t wait to return in the summer time-
apparently the water is bright turquoise.
Have you been to Germany?
What is your favorite city?
Oh how amazing! Thank you for sharing the gorgeous photos.
I'm sure it's sights like these and day-trips like this, that will continually remind you why you chose to go do what you're doing.
Looking forward to more!
And no, I haven't even been to Germany!
SO STUNNING.
I love to travel but for some reason Germany has never been one of those places I really yearned to go.
These pictures are amazing though and I imagine in the spring/summer it will be amazing there !
Stunning pictures! Oh how I am jealous! 🙂 I still need to email you back – haven't forgotten about your Switzerland tips yet! xoxo
These photos are stunning. I am jealous you had the opportunity to visit!
Omigosh! I've been here!! 🙂 Seriously, you have me so Germany-sick. We went there in October'ish and I have pics of it where the water looks like a crystal clear mirror. It's amazing. These pics you took are incredible.
You LIVE here you lucky lady!
Make sure you take the cable car up to the top of the Zugspitze this summer – it's absolutely incredible.
Also, so far: your au pair family > my au pair family by about 1000%. Again, lucky lady 🙂
OH for beauty!!!
Reminds me sort of of Switzerland's Alps, I LOVE Switzerland, …I had no idea Germany had the mountains!
Those are beautiful pictures! I've been there a couple times and we are planning a trip there this summer with out daughter. xxx
Seriously that is so insanely gorgeous! The water looks as clear as cozumel. Geez!
oh my Lord, this pictures are stunning! so jealous!
So So pretty!! I think what you are doing is so cool and I hope to join you over there next summer!

Looks dreamy! I have not spent any real time in Germany (just one night in a hotel as I awaited my connecting flight out the next day). But I really want to!
beautiful!
