U S Military only
by etfromnc
The Edelweiss Lodge and Resort is a recreation and relaxation center designed primarily for American military personnel in Europe as a part of our commitment to NATO and trying to convince Europeans that we are not as evil as Jacques Chirac and Osama bin Laden say that we are. It is open, however, to US military from other areas, to military retirees, and to families of military personnel, active or retired.
The Lodge and Resort feature 330 spacious guest rooms, three uniquely themed restaurants, THE POiNT Wellness Club, leisure activities, daily tours, and a recreation programs center, and it has a full service conference facility. Hitler's Headquarters. Such opulence in the midst of some of God's most glorious creation that one is stymied ever more in trying to understand him and the destruction which he caused.

Cows have the Right-of-Way
by lareina
In Garmisch-Partenkirchen it isn't surprising to see traffic stopped for cows going down the road. Their bells will be clanging as they loaf down the narrow roads. The farmers, on foot or bicycle, lead them back from the pastures at the end of the day to their barns. The cows seem to know the paths so well that they could probably go it alone! It is a fun sight to see and a great photo op, but remember the cows have the right of way!
The Eibsee
by Kuznetsov_Sergey
Rise on the mountain begins from the picturesque Eibsee with clean green water. It is in a coniferous wood at height of 972 m. The area of this lake is about 2 square km, and the maximal depth is 32 m. There are several wood islands. You may float by boats in summer and skate in the winter.
Cablecar up Hausberg
by kls67
Instead of spending an enormous amount of money (about $35) and time (about an hour traveling) - we chose to jump on the quick little cable car and ride to the top of this mountain. It takes about 10 minutes to get up and I just noticed that they have put all new car's on the cable for an even more comfortable ride up - I was going to admit that the ride itself was a bit "unnerving" a couple of times....
From the top - the views towards Alpspitze and through the Loisach valley are simply breathtaking. The fall colors were overwhelming.
I would advise going before lunch, packing a picnic and hiking around the top for a couple of hours before heading back down. Of course, if you went in the winter, you'd be obliged to ski.
Explore the Older Streets
by lareina
There is much to discover on a stroll through the side streets of Ga-P. I like to head to the older streets and admire the Bavarian detailing. Look for carved doors, shutters, and fences and for the traditional wall paintings called luftlmalerei. There are a few fountains and watering wells. Also notice the well-kept window boxes bursting with geraniums.
