Highlights:
1. Stunning 360 views of Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy on clear days. The Eibsee Lake below looks like a turquoise gem from above.
2. Zugspitzbahn (cogwheel train) + Eibsee-Seilbahn (cable car) provide a scenic ascent and descent.
3. One of Germany’s best ski resorts, hiking trails and photo spots.
