This week on Instagram, we took a virtual trip to Bavaria's Eibsee, or "yew lake," named after the yew tree, which was once commonly found around the lake. The lake is one of many scenic places to visit in the area. The lake sits just north of the Zugspitze and a short drive from the famous Neuschwanstein Castle. Have you visited the Eibsee before? What are your favorite lakes to visit in Germany? Let us know on Instagram!
