Nice gradual climb to a picturesque mountain lake near GAP. Climb with reasonably good asphalt, although there were some roadworks going on halfway. At the lake there are several restaurants you can use. The terrace of the restaurant of the same name offers a nice view of the lake and the back of the Zugspitze. A great trip!... read more

Nice gradual climb to a picturesque mountain lake near GAP. Climb with reasonably good asphalt, although there were some roadworks going on halfway.

Mooie geleidelijke klim naar een pittoresk bergmeertje nabij GAP. Klim met redelijk goed asfalt, alhoewel er halverwege wel wat wegwerkzaamheden aan de gang waren. Bj het meertje zijn verschillende horecagelegenheden waar je gebruik van kunt maken. Op het terras van het gelijknamige restaurant heb je een mooi uitzicht op het meertje en de achterkant van de Zugspitze. Een tof uitstapje!!
