Zugspitze Mountain

On Germany's highest mountain - the Zugspitze (2,963 m) - it feels like you could reach out and touch the stars. And right on top of the mountain, you are not only at the highest point in Germany, but also almost on its very edge; the Zugspitze is on the German-Austrian border.


A cogwheel railroad and three different cable cars provide an effortless route to the top, where we have enjoyed our day.

Okay, the Zugspitze isn't Mount Everest, but the Zugspitze is very much a mountain, and its scenery is nothing short of spectacular.

The colours of the autom. In autom all leaf gets red and yellow. Its beautiful to see that.

Eibsee lake (at the foot of the Zugpitze), was the result of a massive landslide. Overlooking the lake is the lower station of the large cable car that takes you up to the Zugspitze. Its a very crystal-clear, deep blue lake. You can the see the reflection of mountains in this lake.

A cogwheel railroad take you to Zugspitze mountain from Eibsee. You can find very green scene on the both side of train.

The border between Germany and Austria goes right through the mountain, and there is even a border checkpoint at the summit where visitors may cross back and forth between the two countries.

This photo from the Zugspitze's summit ridge shows the glacier and the Austrian Alps.
