My son and I were visiting my sister and family at Erlangen. We planned a day-trip to Zugspitze. So, it was my sister, brother-in-law, niece,nephew, my son and me. We were joined by my sister’s friend, her husband and daughter... We took the train from Erlangen to Nürnberg as early as 7am. We then took the train from Nürnberg to München and changed to another train from München to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. After that, we took the cogwheel train from Zugspitzbahnhof to Gletscherbahnhof located at the height of 2,588 metres above sea level. We walked to the south part of the mountain which is the Zugsitzplatt, a high ‘karst’ (formed from the dissolution of soluble rocks such as limestone) plateau with many caves. Three glaciers, the two largest in Germany namely, Northern Schneeferner and Höllentalferner and the third namely, Southern Schneeferner lie on the flanks of Zugspitze. The highest mountain in Germany, Zugspitze was named after the “Zugbahnen” or avalanche paths down the mountain’s notoriously steep north face and summit. Less than two weeks prior to this trip to Zugspitze in the German Alps, my husband, my son and I, had been to two more glaciers, Mt. Titlis and Glacier 3000 in the Swiss Alps. On both occasions, we had met bright, sunny weather. However, at Zugspitze, there was not the faintest sign of the sun. It felt very different and was indeed a welcome change to have good snowfall instead. It felt more like a Winter Wonderland than any other snow clad peak I have visited and I felt very close to Nature. We climbed as high up as the Church Maria Heimsuchung, which stands at the height of almost 3000 metres above sea level, defying sun, storm, wind and snow. I felt that this house of God, standing in solitude, like a sentinel in the vast expanse of snow, provides peace and protection to the skiers and winter sports enthusiasts during their visits to the glacier. On enquiring, I learnt that Catholic and Protestant Mass are celebrated on a regular basis depending on weather conditions. I felt deep reverence, not only for the Creator but also for this tiny little place of prayer as I stood high up in the snow clad mighty mountain with snow flakes falling all over us. The children had put in their snow suits and they paid no heed to the constant drizzle of snowflakes. They were busy swooping down on slides and toboggans; climbing up and sliding down again. We were constantly alert about making it back in time for the train, but we did not want to miss out on going to the Zugspitze summit. So, we made a dash for the Gletscherbahn cable car station from where cable cars runs every 10 minutes between the Zugspitz glacier and the summit. We barely had about 20 minutes to spend at the summit in order to be able to catch the last cable car down. So we rushed out being careful to remain on the German side It is said that on a clear day, four countries : Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland can be seen from the Zugspitze. However, standing in the Zugspitze platform that offered a 360 degrees view, we looked north, south, east and west; but it was too foggy and musty and there coupled with snowfall, the view was totally obscured and we could see nothing beyond a couple of metres. The only regret I felt was that we could not spot the famous golden summit cross. Given a chance, I would have loved taking a picture standing by its side. For our return, we took the aerial tram right upto Garmisch-Partenkirchen and trains to München, Nürnberg and Erlangen respectively.

Great view of all the area from above. Enjoy a cold beverage or hot coffee and a snack from the vista. Walk over and observe the para gliding jumpers from here as well.
8. Wasserkuppe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 136 reviews
The Wasserkuppe is with 950 meters the highest mountain of Hessen and internationally known as the "mountain of gliders" for gliding and paragliding. The mountain in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Rhön is an interesting holiday destination for young and old - in the middle of Germany, at any time of the year: the summer toboggan runs are not only popular with children. Other highlights are the hiking trails, the climbing forest, the gliding museum, the Radom on the summit, the aviation monument, the particularly clear starry sky and many other sights in the area such as the Red Moor, the baroque city of Fulda or the memorial site "Point Alpha" on the former inner-German border. In winter, snow-covered floodlit slopes, cross-country ski runs, sledge runs and the snowkite spot attract winter sports enthusiasts to the Wasserkuppe. Directly on the mountain there are restaurants, hotels and a holiday village.

This is a great location for a long weekend especially if entranced by aviation. The history of flying here dates back to the early twentieth century and today it is a great place to watch aviation - paragliders, gliders, hang gliders, radio-controlled model aircraft and soaring hawks hunting for prey. On the north side is a theme park with rides that are probably great for young families with a cheap restaurant/cafeteria offering traditional German fare and beer. The site also offers the excellent gliding museum, the great value Deutscher Flieger hotel and the outstanding Peterchens Mondfahrt restaurant. We'll be back.

If you are in Brannenburg then it is a must see. We are lucky with the weather. In the city was +30 degrees, uphill +15 degrees. Visibility was 100km. Avoid weekends as then might be overcrowded.
