O
Rýchle fakty: The summit sits at 1,780 meters and offers sweeping views of Germany's highest peak and the entire Alpine chain. Its unusual name comes from an Old High German word meaning "unstable," a reference to the crumbling limestone that makes the mountain geologically fascinating.
Zaujímavosti: The summit restaurant serves traditional Bavarian käsespätzle with what might be the most dramatic backdrop in the region, a 360-degree panorama of the Alps. On crystal-clear days, you can count over 400 individual mountain peaks from the wooden observation platform just steps from your table.
Insiderské tipy
- Ride the cable car up but hike down via the Wanksteig trail for a stunning 2-hour descent with constantly changing views of the valley.
- Arrive just before the first cable car at 8:30 AM to experience the summit nearly empty before the midday crowds arrive.
- Pack a windproof jacket even on sunny summer days: summit temperatures are often 10°C cooler than the valley floor.
- Skip the crowded main dining room and grab a table on the sun terrace for unobstructed mountain views with your meal.
