How to get there
N47° 27' 36.0504"E10° 58' 34.6908"
This image was taken in front of a cliff along Lake Eibsee with a view of Braxeninsel & Zugspitze mountain in the background. There isn't a guided path to get to this particular vantage point, so reference the following GPS coordinates to guide you along the path. It will take you about 30 minutes to complete the trail hike.
Start by parking at the lot of the Eibsee-Hotel (47.457736, 10.991698) then head south on Am Eibsee toward Eibseestraße. Once you reach Eibseestraße, take a left. Follow the path toward Eibsee Runwig (go over the bridge) until you get to the GPS coordinates: 47.4620457, 10.9772193.
Continue around the shore along the trail until you get to the next GPS coordinates: 47.4611902, 10.9769665. From there, you can walk to the final spot where I stood to get this view of the lake, island and mountain — and you should see the rock a model can stand on.
