Ammersee is one of the five lakes lying to the south of Munich that make up Fünf-Seen-Land. The two closest, Amersee and Starnbergersee, can both be reached on the Munich S-Bahn.The lakes are hugely popular with locals during the summer months and many of Munich's wealthiest citizens have homes on the lake shore. Walking trails circle the lakes and criss-cross the whole region. For those who want to take things easier cruise boats travel the lakes regularly.
This picture was taken from the north end of the lake looking south towards the bavarian alps in the distance. Despite the appearance this shot was taken at 2pm in the afternoon. The blue tone is entirely natural and has not been enhanced at all.
