The summer has officially arrived at its peak in Germany and so we decided to drive to one of the 5 big lakes at the Fünfseenland, an area in Upper Bavaria counting 5 big lakes: Starnberger See, Wörthsee, Ammersee, Pilsensee, and Weßlinger See.
The plan was to go there, enjoy the sun and the water, and then camp for the night directly at the lake.
As it is still Corona time, we had to make an online reservation to save a spot. Once that was arranged we drove from our home to the lake, which is luckily fairly close.
The lake has a maximum depth of 17 meters, a length of approx. 2.5 km and a width of approx. 1 km. It was created in the Ice Age when a branch basin was excavated by the Isar-Loisach glacier.
When we arrived, we parked our car at the parking lot and went walking towards the lake. We found a very nice spot to lie down and first started to have a proper breakfast!
I mostly like this lake because it is big, has nice clear water, and not too many people gathering around like at other lakes! Like this, it was safe and we could enjoy the stay fully!
So once the sun arrived at our corner it started to get hot and we needed to refresh ourselves quickly. We decided to jump into the water and take our SUP right with us to do some sports and enjoy the calmness of the lake to its highest.
Elena wanted to paddle first, so I jumped on the back and enjoyed the view meanwhile, tipping my feet in the water and feeling the wind blow in my face! - What a wonderful day to be at the lake!
Paddling a little bit further we all of the sudden we're all by ourselves! So nice! The wind was blowing a bit, the sun shining and the water was not too cold or too hot, but just refreshing!
So, of course, we jumped in and enjoyed the sun shining on our bodies while just hanging around, laying down on the board, or floating in the water.
When we started to feel a little bit burned we decided to go back, get some time in the shadow and check on our things.
I bought a refreshing ice coffee at the kiosk, went back, and enjoyed the view towards the lake and the people! It can be so funny to observe german summer behavior :D
During the day we took a few more rounds swimming and paddling on the water. It was just really nice to finally have a day off with great weather and not too many people! I am sure it was also helping that in some parts of Germany the school vacation time was over, and so we have fewer tourists here in beautiful Bavaria now!
In the late afternoon, we decided to bring our SUP back to the car and start putting our tent for the night. The camping spot was not far from the water and actually pretty big so that keeping distance wouldn't be a problem at all.
We built my 15-year-old tent surprisingly fast and had a lot of fun doing so. It only took us about 30 minutes to have everything ready and another 20 to put our things inside.
Then we walked down to the lake again to have some drinks and enjoy the beautiful and well-deserved sunset. It was just the perfect ending to a perfect day!
The night was very comfortable (for me at least haha), and even though the tent was a bit old, it was great to go camping again! Of course, it wasn't raining and when we woke up the next morning because kids from a neighbor tent started their day quite loudly I was already looking forward to the camping breakfast place!
Elena had a little bit of trouble waking up though.
But I knew that all she needs is a great breakfast and coffee!! So we put down our tent and went to the breakfast place and got some for her asap!
Now we were happy and all set to drive home again! What a great experience! More about other great places in Germany soon!
Until then feel free to enjoy the video of the day!
Cheers,
Liz
Hmmm I can feel the delicious feeling of nature there. I just hope there will be no crocodile there. It's a really big lake because it's 2.5 km. It won't be crowded in that place for sure.
I love the environment as well and the water. It's also nice to have beers in that place. By the way, I only saw pretty girls there.😍
Haha we don't have crocodiles in Germany or any other dangerous animal! All safe! Yes it is really big, but not too many public places to enjoy the water. I think most of it is private actually! Anyways, a great place to chill and enjoy! Haha yes, there were only pretty ones 😉👍
Wow what a trip!
I am not sure if I enjoyed the scenery or your smiling adventurous faces more!
Not what I would picture as Germany though and I am impressed. I want to go even more now and will follow you to catch more of these great tales with the pretty ladies ;)
Haha, of course, the smiling face, what else?? naa, just joking 😉How did you picture Germany? I mean we have a lot of different landscapes within the country, but this is typical for the south of Germany. Here it is all about mountains, lakes, and castles haha. - Glad you like the series! I will try to write more soon 👍🙂
Very beautiful 😉
Thanks @ed1812, glad you like it!

Wow its amazing how much Germany and south Carolina look alike. I saw the pictures and felt like i was seeing the lake down the street from us.
You guys look like you were having a tonne of fun. I've always wanted to go paddle boarding. From your post i can tell its totally worth it.
Oh really?! That is new to me! I know that some parts look a bit like Canada, but I haven't been to South Carolina or the US at all so far. Must be beautiful there than 😉 Did you ever wrote about that awesome lake? I would like to see it! We did in fact have a lot of fun! Stand up paddling is really cool! And more difficult than expected, but totally worth it!
Yeah we have the same trees and the lake looks just like what you would find here. I haven't written about any of the lakes here but i really should. Just need to find the tine to get out to one. All of my friends who have visited Germany absolutely loved it.
For me i grew up watching people paddle board in California but i never got the opportunity. And i used to surf.
Well it looks like you were having fun and that makes me happy.
Sounds great then! Do you have dangerous animals though? Crocodiles? 😅 Well, if you ever write about it, make sure you pin it on the @pinmapple map! There is some great curation going on at our project! Really worth it! Awww, really they love Germany? I am mostly here because I am born here... and now after 5 years outside of it I came back. I am actually quite happy to be here and not somewhere way less unsafe at the moment, but I probably won't stay forever! I miss the beach too much! - Still, the nature is also nice here! 😉 I am glad I could make you happy @hidave! That makes me happy as well! 🙏❤️🙂
We actually don't have any particular animals that are dangerous. We have deer, small black bears, and some vipers but no crocodile. Were inland but if we were closer to the coast we'd have alligators.
I love the beaches too. I'd like to move somewhere more tropical and by the beach.
Where are you thinking beach wise for yourself to move?
Sounds good! Don't know yet, but if things stay like this probably Europe, South 😉
Toller Post, danke fürs teilen. Mir sind gleich die Landjäger ins Auge gesprungen, jetzt weiß ich was ich unbedingt mal wieder essen will. :)
