Immenstadt sunset on Alpsee
Originally uploaded by iwmpop.

This is the "Alpsee" in Immenstadt. A mountain lake that collected most of it's water supply from melted or melting snow, and was therefore rarely swimmable in (even in summer) although the British Army used it for kayak and canoe training, and in August tourists could be seen braving the icy waters.If one knew (as we did) all the little hamlets, with their individual Beer Breweries dotted around this lake, one could (and did) have a ball!
