So, the Riessersee in Garmisch Partenkirchen is worth a visit for anyone who wants to have a bit of cultural activity on vacation! After all, the finish curve of the historic bobsleigh track from the 1936 Winter Olympics is located at the southwest end of this lake! If that didn't trigger a wow effect for you, then let's move on to the next point.
At Riessersee, you can use the circular path around the lake year-round. You know, in case you need to rest your muscles on your summer vacation :)
And if you need a little variety on your winter vacation besides skiing in Garmisch Partenkirchen, you can enjoy a relaxing winter hike at Riessersee. Furthermore, the frozen lake is also used for ice skating and curling when there is enough ice.
So, that's all the facts. Oh, and one more thing: at Riessersee you get a MEGA view of the Zugspitze massif. Done.
