We headed to Walchensee for lunch, where we found an awful cafe which didn’t appear to have any form of social distancing (it was empty when we walked in, but not when we left…). The drive over the Walchensee was brilliant, and needless to say involved a few more stops.
We then drove around the Walchensee, stopping where there was parking when we saw something which had potential. Unfortunately the low cloud was really hiding the majestic scenery, but certainly a place to return to with better light in the future.
The final part of the day was driving between Obernach and Wallgau. The road runs. parallel to the Obernachkanal. This provided plenty of oppertunaties, with bridges, weirs and waterfalls. We stopped in three locations as we drove up, the first gave us a weir, the second a bridge and the third a waterfall, the Wasserfall Obernachkanal.
The second and third locations were the best, the second did involve standing in the icy cold water to get the shot! David did get an amusing photo of me in the water. The third also had the option to walk up Sachensee, but we were getting tired and had to get to Geroldsee to scout the location for a few days later.
The next day we drove down to Berchtesgaden for a few days of photography. When we finished there, instead of driving back to Munich we continued our random exploring, but with somewhat better light.
We drove from Berchtesgaden back to the Sylvenstein Lake following the Deutsche Alpenstraße, this was a signposted route which took the scenic route along the German side of the Austrian-German border. This was a brilliant day out, which involved plenty of stops. We basically stopped whenever we saw something we liked.
