The Osterseen in Upper Bavaria, Germany
Upper Bavaria, located in the south of Bavaria, itself a southern state of Germany, is dotted with lakes. The designation “upper” has nothing to do with its latitude, but refers to the fact that the region is higher in elevation than the rest of Bavaria. The lakes that comprise the Osterseen live up to the region’s reputation for Alpine beauty, and aren’t far from the shores of the much larger Starnberg Lake.
