Garmisch – Patenkirchen is known as one of the most important health resorts in the Bavarian Alps as well as the Mecca for winter sports in Germany.
Wild and idyllic start of the day through the steep Partnachklamm gorge, where the water courses from the Wetterstein massif meet. Afterwards walk across soft hills and alpine pastures to Klais or Mittenwald.
To make the gorge passable the path was hewn with extreme precision into the rock and bold bridges cross up to 40 m above the water. Relax on a comfortable walk along the stream Leutascher Ache into the valley. Past small hamlets and flower meadows with Wetterstein Massif forming a stunning backdrop you walk into widening Leutasch Valley.
Today you are free either to relax or take a walk to the many lakes in and around Seefeld. Return by public bus.
Summer in the Gaistal Valley is blissful for the small light brown ponies and grey and brown cattle. You will walk on the Ganghofer (a local writer) path across the alpine pastures and then up to the crossing to Ehrwalder Alm. Picture book scenery. Downhill by cable car.
Bit by bit you walk up to the foot of Zugspitze and famous scenic view on Lake Eibsee. The tour ends at the lovely lake with Zugspitz-Garmisch panorama. Simply beautiful. Return to Garmisch by Zugspitzbahn.
End of the holiday so time to make your way home
