Lakes are always a popular destination for a day trip - even when the water is still too cold for swimming. In Bavaria, no body of water remains untouched from Walchensee, Königssee, Hopfensee or Eibsee.
The Blue Lake in the Harz Mountains is still being discovered by day trippers. The Schwaltenweiher is beautifully nestled in front of the panorama of the Alps and has a large beach volleyball court.
