Definitely worth visiting Eagle's Nest! We started the day with very cloudy weather, and when we…read morefirst got to the top, there really wasn't much of a view at all. Instead of immediately leaving, we decided to wait it out at the restaurant up there and have a couple of drinks. So glad we did! The clouds eventually started to clear, and the views were absolutely worth the wait. Such a huge difference once the weather opened up, and we were able to get some beautiful pictures and really appreciate the scenery. If you get up there and it's cloudy, don't necessarily give up right away! Grab a drink or something to eat at the restaurant and give it some time -- the weather can change quickly. We were very happy we waited. Pet friendly: Dogs are allowed in many areas around Eagle's Nest, but there are some transportation/access restrictions to be aware of, so I'd recommend checking the current rules before bringing your dog.

You can hike up, but we took the bus to the tunnel and then the historic elevator. Walking through the tunnel, I couldn't help thinking about the American soldiers who reached this site at the end of World War II. At about 6,000 feet), the views are absolutely breathtaking. On our clear, sunny day, we could see mountain peaks stretching into the distance, the town far below, and lakes nestled between the mountains. We spent a few hours taking it all in, then enjoyed food and a beer outside at the restaurant. The setting is spectacular, and its history makes the visit even more memorable. It was a once in a lifetime experience for us.

Germany's highest point. This is a really cool place to…read morevisit about an hour drive from Munich! We did the round trip up and down to experience the cable car to the top of Germany. It was a nice day and the visibility was great! Was able to see mountain peaks in different countries. "Stunning views, well-maintained facilities, and friendly staff. the experience is worth every penny, especially on a clear day when the breathtaking vistas are at their best. The panoramic views of Eisbee Lake and the surrounding landscape are truly awe-inspiring, making the journey to the top a memorable one." Easily one of the best experiences I've had in other countries. I recommend visiting if you're within 2 hours drive. Definitely worth it!

There are some German words that are more fun to yell than others, and ZUGSPITZE is the perfect…read moreword to yell when you're talking about the tallest mountain in Germany/Austria. Appropriate responses to completing the 15-minute cable car ride to the top of this mountain with a group of 20 other people include: exclaiming, "Zugspitze," taking a deep breath of fresh air, shielding yourself from the 5G towers, vomiting, and/or drinking a beer. Luckily, they offer beer at the top! Why? Because of course they do! They also offer food in a few different settings (Austrian side vs German side, you'll see). If you're feeling super fit and looking for a challenge, you can climb to the top or to the bottom of the mountain using hiking gear. There's a way for visitors who took the easy way up to climb the last bit of the mountain to the apex for a sweet photo op, or you could, like, actually do all the work and grab a beer before you take a relaxing ride back down. During winter months this is obviously a hotspot (or cold spot) for skiing and winter sports. It is still very beautiful and awe-inducing to see this over the summer/fall, and still very cold. If you buy the all-inclusive pass from the ticket booth like my aunt and uncle did, you are given one round-trip ticket to the top of Zugspitze and back, then freedom to ride all of the other cable cars in the area and participate in some of the offered activities (like tobogganing). This is one of those things you have to see at least once. genießen!

Bayerische Seen-Schiffahrt is the company that provides these electric boat tours to tourists at a modest cost. This was the highlight of our vacation to Germany. The echo achieved by the captain's flugelhorn echoing off the mountains is quite moving. It's easy to find the ticket kiosk along the pier--it's a short 5-minute walk from the Tourist Information center. The beauty on this lake is just stunning. Bring a good camera. It seems like no matter how many photos you take, you can never fit it all in. On their (English version) website you can see they offer different options, including time to see the Eiskappel or to go hiking. It's up to you.
