PARTENKIRCHEN by RitchiS1Leave a Comment

One of the best ways to go to Garmisch-Partenkirchen is by using the efficient german railway.
A weekend ticket was then cheap. I unfortunately do not know the current price.
Besides, you can enjoy a 1,5 hour trip with the most beautiful landscapes in the southern Germany. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

The Bayerische Zugspitzbahn Bergbahn AG is located behind the Hauptbahnhof in Garmisch, about 2-minutes walk from the main arrival and departure tracks. Just walk under the tracks, away from the HBF and you will see it on your left as you step out into sunshine.
No fewer than eight cable cars and gondolas await you, giving you access to locations at differing altitudes. You have your choice of the Hausberg, Kreuzeck, Oesterfelder or Zugspitze. You cannot reach the Wank from here, so you will have to take a taxi from the HBF. The Wank is now closed during most of the winter months, except occasionally during peak holidays. It is open all summer and serviced from the Wank Bahn.
Travel on the Zugspitzbahn is free with a valid ski pass. Leave a Comment

It is possible to rise on the mountain in several ways.
The second way. It is necessary to reach by train Zugspitzbahn or by car up to the Eibsee. A truck of Eibsee-Seilbahn will deliver you to the top during 10 minutes and for 43 euros (there and back).
We have chosen the second way. Though it seemed to us rather expensive! 86 euros for two persons?
But if we happened to be there - nothing to do... Theme: Other

 Eibsee Seilbahn,
Garmisch-Partenkirchen by antistar
The journey to the Zugspitze summit involves three parts:
1. A cog wheel train to Grainau.
2. Another cog wheel train journey from Grainau to Eibsee.
3. An aerial tramway from Eibsee to the Zugspitze summit.
These elements are never explained clearly anywhere, so they are worth noting otherwise you might end up wasting time like I did.
The station for the aerial tramway in Eibsee is separate to the cog wheel train station, and you need to take a short walk through the trees outside the station. It's not far, so if you find yourself wandering too long, go back and try again. You should be able to just walk out of the front of the station and take the path right there. It has a small sign post so look out for it.
The Eibsee Seilbahn is an aerial tramway, not a gondola system, so there is only one cabin on each of the two ropeways. Each cabin crams in about 30 people squashed together like sardines.
The dramatic journey to the top takes about 10 minutes, and in normal circumstances the cabins are going up and down the mountain every half hour. Towards the end of busy days, however, there are more people wanting to come down than the cabins can carry and so you will need to book ahead. Again this isn't made very clear (until it is too late) so be aware. If they are calling out ticket numbers, make sure you go and get one before trying to go back down to Eibsee. Otherwise you might get stuck up the mountain for an hour or so longer than you intended, like I did.
The journey all the way to the top costs 44 euros for a return. The last train to the Eibsee leaves Garmisch at 2.15, and the last one from the top on the Eibsee Seilbahn should leave at 5pm, but they keep it running a bit longer if there's a jam. Leave a Comment

How to get the Zugschpitze?
It is possible to rise on the mountain in several ways.
The first way. The special train departs from Garmish-Partenkirchen through Grainau. It delivers tourists up to plateau Zugspitzplatt/Sonnalpin. Time in a way is about 1,5 hours. Last piece of a way from station " Riffelriss " up to terminal station Zugspitzplatt at height of 2600 m a train passes in a tunnel in length of 4,5 km. The rope-way is laid from a terminal station up to the top. Theme: Other

 Wankbahn,
Garmisch-Partenkirchen by antistar
The Wankbahn operates a gondola system, so there is no time that you need to turn up. There is a constant rotating stream of cabins going up and down the mountainside, and there will always be one waiting for you when you arrive. The cabins just keep rotating all day (from 08:45 until 17:00 in the summer). Outside of those times you'll be walking, so make sure you don't miss the last one unless you are planning a hike down the mountain.
The journey takes about 18 minutes each way and costs 16 euros return (for an adult) and 10 euros for a single journey. You can also buy cheaper tickets to the half-way station. Leave a Comment

 The wheels on the bus go
round & round by PaulKirk
A separate bus route is provided by the blue Eibsee bus but this is not subject to free travel and costs about 4 Euros to get to Eibsee for the Zugspitze cable car or a walk around the lake. The service is hourly and takes about 30 minutes. The last bus back is about 2030. Theme: Bus
