Hiking at the Zugspitze in the BMA Outdoor MagazineRoadbook
The start of the route is at the Eibsee parking lot. We decided to hike the circular route clockwise. Passing the Eibsee Hotel, we reach a waterfall after some time. The path continues on the other side of the lake with views of the Zugspitze. We cross the bridge at the Braxensee and return to the starting point.
