TOP OF GERMANY
Zugspitze
Breathtaking views and a feeling of pure freedom – that's what a trip to Germany's highest mountain, the Zugspitze , sounds like . An experience that alone makes a holiday in Bavaria worthwhile.
A mountain with a height of 2.962 meters. It really is: so close to heaven. You can't get any closer to the sky in Germany than on the Zugspitze. Once you reach the highest point, a wonderful 360° panoramic view awaits you, promising a feeling of infinite space and freedom. In front of you lie 400 Alpine peaks, spread across Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy, and a view of up to 250 kilometers into the distance. Up there, the worries of everyday life suddenly seem very small - and the happiness of reaching the summit is within your grasp. Welcome to the Zugspitze. Welcome to heaven, so close!
Despite the significant altitude, the summit of the Zugspitze is accessible to everyone – even without years of mountaineering experience. The state-of-the-art Zugspitze cable car , the traditional cogwheel train , and finally the glacier cable car will take you up to the viewing platform and the fantastic panoramic view of four countries. Breathtaking views, invigorating mountain air, and unforgettable memories await.


The journey to the Zugspitze starts at Lake Eibsee or from the train station in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Lake Eibsee is also a popular destination in the Zugspitze region. From the train station, you can take the nostalgic cogwheel train up to the Zugspitzplatt plateau. The descent is via the new Zugspitze cable car, whose glass-enclosed cabins offer breathtaking views of the picturesque Lake Eibsee and the Bavarian Alpine foothills.
From the Klosterhotel Ettal , you are just a 20-minute drive from Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The parking area at Eibsee can be reached in approximately half an hour. All prices and travel times for the Zugspitze round trip, as well as further information, can be found on the website of the Bayerische Zugspitzbahn (Bavarian Zugspitze Railway ).
