I like this video from Eduardo Rojas. Interesting use of drone and Insta360.
Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.
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.
Eibsee Loop. About 2 hours.
