Stony ascent to the Knorrhütte

Highlight • Other

The path to the Knorr Hut is quite rocky. Once you've reached it, you've earned something at the hut!

Knorr Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A rustic Alpine Club hut in the middle of a scree field in front of the Zugspitze. Here you have a beautiful view of the green Reintal, but also of the rocky peaks of the surrounding mountains. Kindly, you can also fill up your water supplies here. 😊

If you want to take a longer break here, you can eat in the small restaurant or stay overnight in the hut. A small break, whether short or long, should be planned in any case. 😉

Zugspitze Plateau

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Zugspitzplatt can be visited by descending the dangerous scree slope, or with the Gletscherbahn, which runs between the Zugspitze and the Kaarst landscape almost 400 meters below, from which the cog railway then continues to Garmisch.
