On the highest mountain in Germany
A trip to the Zugspitze is currently still an icy pleasure, but those who decide to take the Zugspitze cable car to Germany's highest peak these days will be rewarded with a stunning Alpine panorama at 2,962 meters in clear weather. The cable car takes about 10 minutes from the valley station on the eastern bank of Eibsee to the mountain station on the Zugspitz summit.
