Location: Grainau, Landkreis Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Upper Bavaria, Bavaria, Germany
The small village of Grainau lies directly below the steep rock faces of the Zugspitze - it is hardly spectacular and picturesque at the same time. Not only are there quaint guesthouses and cozy accommodations here, but from there, the famous cogwheel railway takes you directly and very nostalgically up to the highest peak in Germany.

Good starting point for many tours. Eibsee, Badersee easy to reach. Train station for the rack railway towards Zugspitze.
