Garmisch-Partenkirchen Transportation Tips by yooperprof

Zugspitzebahn -- the Cable Car

This was the most dramatic cable car I've ever taken. Getting to the Zugspitze summit required several different modes of transportation, one of them being a kind of rack-railway with long tunnels that bored through thousands of feet of mountain rock. That part of the journey was pretty amazing in itself. But for a person from Kansas, nothing can exceed the excitement and thrill of a cable car hundreds of feet above the snow and ice of an Alp.

We took the train down to Garmisch-Partenkirchen from Munich. It was less than an hour, rollings through mostly wooded terrain, with the excitement of getting closer and closer to the imposing mountains.
