Aye Tads, it's nice down that way (Allgäu), Engelpolz wasn't far from where we stayed when we were posted down there. You probably would've been drinking Zöttler or Engelbräu, both were local breweries in Rettenberg.
As to the Alpsee I would imagine it was the one at Immenstadt that being the nearest to where you were staying, or was it the "Alpsee" by Schwangäu Konig Ludwigs castle in the background (Chitty chitty bang bang castle).
As to your Daughter & her German lingua, I & many thousands of troops over the years were no better really, pointy finger one hand, x-raised fingers on t'other hand to signify the amount desired, accompanied with the expression "Dings dar/Die der, Bitte!" until we reached the ultimate level of communication "eins - Zehn, Bier Bitte!" politely accepted with the refrain of thanks & gratitude of "Donkey****e!"
