I think an important thing to know about getting to the entrance is that it’s a bit of an uphill hike. Not a difficult hike but you just don’t arrive at the entryway via a short walk from the parking area. Prepare to get wet along the way. I didn’t get drenched but I definitely should have worn a raincoat. The trail itself is well kept while in the canyon and tunnels. It can get somewhat crowded but it wasn’t uncomfortable for me. It could be loud due to the roaring water. Once out of the tunnels it was about another 20 uphill minutes to the restaurant at the end of the trail. The restaurant had clean restrooms. The view of the glaciers is amazing. Another import thing to know is the hike to the gondola isn’t easy and somewhat intimidating. My friends and I hiked to it and we saw a lot of inexperienced hikers struggling. If you plan on hiking to Alpspitz ensure you have plenty of water and food.

At nearly 10,000 feet, Germany's highest peak is a popular ski area during the winter and a challenging hiking trail during the rest of the year.

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.

I really like the skiing here. High enough for consistent good snow. Nearly as high as the Zugspitze but not as busy and often quieter than the rest of the Garmisch Classic area.

We found out about this before we left on our trip and wanted to see just how incredible the views would be. We were not disappointed, The vies of the valley and river below were amazing, The hike on the tour around where the former structures were built was easy for me, but my wife could not go because of the numerous steps. She can not navigate them without pain in her back. She did love the views from the observation areas and she loved the shops. It was definitely a sight to behold.

This salt mine is fascinating in of itself, but the whole experience is extremely well organised and executed - everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed our tour! The combination of walking round, underground train and explanations is superbly thought through, the slides being a fun addition especially for children (but they do have an alternative option as well). The handsets for languages other than German generally worked very well indeed, although there were some glitches, but at least one of our group's worked at every stopping place so we were able to explain to anyone who had had problems. The highlight of the whole tour is the boat trip across the mirror lake, complete with light show - what a surreal experience underground!!! Excellent, much much better than anticipated!

A friend recommended Klimahaus so decided to visit with a different friend and it was the first visit for both of us. We both agreed that it was excellent value for money because there is so much to see and do and plenty of interactive exhibits. I was really interested in the exhibition about renewable energy and visiting the different climates was very good. There is a very good aquarium area as you walk through the climates and a lot of the information was available in English as well as German. It was fairly busy with school children when we arrived and the building is quite echoey so meant a lot of noise which was the only downside but can appreciate that it is the perfect place for school groups so this was to be expected. Overall really recommend this place, it has lots to offer, is easy to find and has parking right underneath.
