    We’ve been there back in February. What a great time we had there. We’re so lucky with the weather! Breathtaking views to Austria and Italy. After all we had lunch in the restaurant. Quite decent food to a fair price!

    Absolutely stunning views!!! Well worth the rather warm cable car ride up there. Incredibly tasty veggie dumplings in the restaurant too. And as we're British, we found the name of the mountain hysterical 🤣

    The best approach to the highest peak of Germany is from Garmisch-Partenkirchen, although its also possible to get there from Austria. On the way up, consider to spend one night in a cottage where you can enjoy great food and views.

    This is a short taxi ride from the train station in Garmisch, about eur12 for 4 of us. It's really interesting to see and a lovely restaurant at the bottom of the jumps.
    But the best thing is the ski lift up beside it which brings you up to the most gorgeous place. It was thick snow up there for us but you could follow tracks to the restaurant (closed) and viewing area which is breathtaking.
    Well worth the ride up.

    Beautiful small mountain lake that has a magnificent view of Zugspitze. It only takes 20 through 30 minutes to walk around the lake and if you are brave, you can go swimming in it. The mountain air is refreshing and was a nice evening stop.

    This street is the old town center for Partenkirchen. There are lots of beautifully painted buildings, restaurants, and souvenir shops here. It is well worth an afternoon or a couple of evenings for dinner.

    We did this hike in the pouring rain which meant that there was no view but it was still worth it. We were short on time and really wanted to an alpine hike. It is a steep climb but beautiful scenery, even got to see an Alpine Salamander. The only big downside was the unfriendly hosts at the beer garden. They wouldn't allow us to sit under cover on their veranda and eat our own picnic. Their veranda is the only under cover spot at the top so was frustrating in the rain. Other than that it was a worthwhile trip.

    Beautiful breathtaking views from the mountain top! The lake below was clear blue, cold and swimmable. We found the accommodations welcoming.
