Why go
Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain, and Watzmann show the range's dramatic scale, while lakes and pasture valleys offer a gentler way into the scenery. The name covers a wide area and its exact geographic use varies, so the useful planning choice is a specific valley, peak or road section. The Alpine landscape changes quickly with weather and elevation.
What to look for
- Zugspitze and Watzmann give the region two prominent mountain landmarks.
- Lakes, valleys and pastures soften the high-peak scenery.
Useful to know
- Choose a particular valley or peak before planning travel across this large region.
- Check conditions for the elevation and route you choose, not only the forecast for a nearby town.
