Trip to Germany, Day 5, Zugspitze





On June 15, Bill, Sonya, and I went to the top of the highest mountain in Germany: Zugspitze. From there, we heard, you can see much of Bavaria, and into Austria, Switzerland, even Italy. We took a train from a nearby station that took us to the top of one peak and then we took a cabled tram up the rest of the way. We could tell we were very high in altitude, but the weather was very bad, cold, rainy, and we could not see anything, anything at all. We then took a different cable car down, then caught a train to the car.

The top photo is a view out of the tram on the way up. It was raining on top as you can see from this photo of Sonya. The third photo is a shot toward the valley. We took a cable car down and the angle of the cables were close to 45 degree. Looking forward and down, this photo shows us headed toward a fog covered valley.
