Bavarian Lakes and their Mountains

Because you don't have to travel to Southern Tyrolia to enjoy Alpine beauty; living in Munich, I also have it next door.

I mean:





That was the Tegernsee seen from high up on the Bad Wiessee side of said lake, one of the big Bavarian lakes. (Not the one where crazy King Ludwig drowned. That would be the Starnberger See.) If you go even higher, say, climb the the Fockenstein, it looks like this:






Speaking of the Fockenstein, its top is high enough you can, if you squint, catch a glimpse of the Starnberger See in the far distance if you turn around:



Let's get down to lake level again, which is breathtakingly beautiful. Behold:



If you climb up the mountains on the other side of the lake, where the small town is actually called Tegernsee as well, you get this view of the Mangfall mountains:



The next lake is called the Schliersee. Yesterday I started there and hiked from one lake to the other across the mountains. It takes a few hours, but so worth it for the view:



Yes, it's all post card-like, but that's what the Bavarian Alpine lakes territory really looks like!



One last Tegernsee (the lake, not the town) picture, this time seen from the exact opposite pov to the first photo:
