osterseen lakes district, iffeldorf, southern bavaria

what a nice walk in the winter nature south of lake starnberger see close to munich today.

frozen lake fohnsee + iffeldorf  village + bavarian alps

ostersseen lakes (easter lakes, ostern) feed the lake starnberger see with water.

what about a short swimming exercise?

well, i've tried ... but all the water you see is just a thin film above the ice .... we have to come again some other time when it will be a little bit warmer. maybe in august ;)

bavarian lakes + sightseeing in bavaria

folks, i'm writing today just to let you know NOT to visit the lake germeringer see, if you don't have to ... we have much much nicer + more clean lakes in the neighborhood. 

lake germeringer see

swimming 🏊+ bathing 🛀 + sunbathing 🌞+ soccer 🌐

me, the soccer amateur. well, better than just to watch the european

 or world championship on TV, isn't it?

the unknown small guy was a better player than me 😀

winter time walk around the frozen lake germeringer see, february 7th, 2026 ... it is so small, we've walked twice😉

ice vs. water aka winter time ⛄vs. summer time 🌞

well, if you want to go by bike / roller blades and be fast at any lake, so just do ... but remember, i have warned ya, didn't i? well, you want to see few pictures made by new pocket camera before you decide whether to visit germering or not? i'm not sure i understood the camera setting yet, i have just got it few days ago as a birthday gift, you know? but remember, there are nicer lakes and better photograhers out there ... of course, if you like algae, duck shit, barbecue smell and the like, so you are right in munich's mattress city / satellite germering and its lake 😃

fohnsee ~ lake fohnsee

if 2day was our last sunny day at a nearby lake this season then it was a really nice one! the best of all wives and me have visited for the 1st time the small but quite cold fohnsee, maybe only 35-40 minutes away from munich. it was imo colder than the much much bigger kochelsee yesterday or was just the outside temperature much higher then yesterday's late evening? anyway, it was really nice there :-)

wanna see few pics? well, 11 of them are here
