Riffelriss is a demand of the rack railway direction Zugspitze. Here all those who want to take the via ferrata to Zugspitze, or who want to hike in the direction of Hohes Egg, get off. Behind the Riffelriss station the rack railway disappears in a 4.4 km long tunnel.

Hiking

Riffelriss is a stopover on the cog railway on the way to the Zugspitze. Starting point for hikes. Great view.

We wanted to know where the train disappears in the tunnel and ran up. Then the gate opened and the train came out. Thumbs out and she stopped and took us down. Nobody asked for a ticket! I.
