Though Germany has less mountains and less high mountains than the neighbouring Austria and Switzerland, the Zugspitze is still one of the absolute highlight to visit in the Alps. There's hardly a better and more convenient vantage point where you can look over 4 different countries all at once: Germany (obviously), Austria, Switzerland and even Italy.
Thank you for the great trip down memory lane! My husband and I met 40 years ago (December 1983) on the Zugspitze train on our way to go skiing. We both lived in Germany at the time; he was in the Air Force and I worked for the U.S. Consulate. We can't believe how much has changed since we were there. Looks like you had a fantastic time! Thank you again!
I've been up there, but it was nearly 50 years ago and it looks a lot different (more developed) than I remember. It is great scenery, and I'm so glad you got to go up there, and on a sunny day no less. Kathryn get those feet UP. You didn't travel 5000 miles just to lay up. Those sunglasses lived a good life and died in a way that would make the other sunglasses envious.
Germany is such a beautiful country with so many areas to visit. So glad you finally made it to the areas you wanted to see. We lived there years ago and now spend our retirement returning quite often to see even more of the country and sharing it with our granddaughters. Keep on traveling........ We will be back twice this year.
You were wise to wait for a clear day. The day we went up to the Kehlsteinhaus (aka, "The Eagle's Nest") in Austria, the upper third of the mountain was completely socked in and you could not see anything at all of the legendary views from the place. It was still worthwhile, but disappointing.
I’m old enough to remember that the Winter Olympics were once held in Garmish. I visited there with my wife in the 2000’s. We drove from there to Zurich. It was an epic drive ( summer time, of course).
My husband and I walked from Garmisch to Lake Eibsee, around the lake and back to Garmisch in 1977. At that time he was my boyfriend and even after that 25 mile walk he stuck with me. We were both in the Army and stationed in Munich.
Great video! Amazing photography! Feats of daring do - sledding. Love snow on your faces and snow in Kathryn's hair. You guys are SO BRAVE! Bless you on your way. ❤
I was here last June with my aunt, grandmother, and cousin. It had been a dream of mine to go to Europe since I was young, and it was a dream come true. When we got to the top, I just started crying because it was such a spectacular view, and I had remembered Rick Steves did a couple shows atop the mountain. I even cried a few other times while on our trip. It was an amazing trip to Europe
Great video! Your video is making me remanence the trip my husband and I did this past September in Garmish.❤I've been to all around Germany (Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, etc.) but Garmish is the one place we want to come back to. If you ever have the chance, come back to do the hikes around the Alps when their isn't snow, I feel it would be right up your guys' alley! The views at the top of the Zugspitze are breathtaking and was one of the highlights from our trip, can't wait to see your future videos on your next adventures!!!
Headed to Garmisch in July! Can you recommend some hikes, and/or a good guide? I have the Cicerone Bavaria guide coming. We’ve been to Ehrwald, so we know a little about the broader area, but any tips from a fellow hiker would be welcome
So much fun! Those mountains are amazing! The tobogganing looked awesome! So sorry about your sunglasses, though. 😎 Thanks for taking us on this trip through Germany! ❤
Hey, it’s a very informative video. I am planning to go this January but won’t be doing any skiing. Do I actually require snow pants just to play around?
Hey hey A+K! Beautiful scenery. I love sledding and I am glad you got to do it despite the epic wipe out. (Sorry about your broken sunglasses and bruising.)
Gorgeous scenery and nice job on pronouncing those German place names! We re-watched that part a few times trying to learn how to say that! Sledding with a view and an epic wipeout - very entertaining! ;) And glad you are ok.
Thank you for your time and posting. I skied on the Zugspitze in 1975, I was stationed in the US Army for 3 1/2 years in Nuremberg. Still the greatest place I have ever lived. Did you get a chance to visit the Neuschwanstein Castle? Not too far away. It is the castle that Walt Disney duplicated for the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland.
A+K is back!!! These videos from Germany are awesome! The mountains look so beautiful and so EPIC!!! The toboggan runs had to be a blast! Also drinking a maple latte while having that view…🤯🤯🤯!!! Amazing vlog Adam and Katherine, you’re the best!
I’m sorry about your sunglasses and the boo boo… but this was a fantastic video and I loved it, especially you’re joyful smiles on the toboggan! The Mountain View’s were a dream to see, thank you for sharing 😊
Garmisch is probably my favorite place in the world. And Eibsee def my favorite spot. In the summer I swim that lake as often as I can. You swim out a bit and turn over and float and look up at the alps. It’s magical.
So glad you got a clear day and just perfect conditions to go up. I have been to quite a few even higher vantage points in the Alps - honestly, nothing beats Zugspitze on such a day! I actually hiked the mountain in September when the first snow was on the ground and the sky just as deep blue and it was magical.
This was such an entertaining and fun video! Since you were okay after the sledding crash and I knew beforehand anyway 🤪 we laughed so hard at your snow covered head, Kathryn! That long drool you couldn’t feel was really funny too! 🤣 Looks like you all had an awesome time! Such absolute beauty! Nick said the video didn’t do the beauty justice but it still had my jaw dropping!
Hello Adventurers , WOW I'm looking at those SPECTACULAR MOUNTAINS at the top GERMANY! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I sure wish I was there with yall...and Kathryn you'll feel better soon whith that scrap on your nose.
It was SO fun watching you guys sled down the mountain (sorry about the glasses I completely understand the pain😢) Funny when I first started watching I was like THANK GOODNESS they aren’t going to hike it..we know your adventurous hiking spirits. Fabulous video guys! ~Cara 😊
It was a tad scary! We're happy we made it out safe and that the worst casualty were the glasses! You can hike it, but we've read it is pretty intense and you have to start very early! Thank you!
wow those giggle laughs of terror while sliding down the slope on the mountain was so funny to hear, you're still having fun but it was obvious you were scared
The snow packed mountains look stunning! You guys looked so happy doing tobogganing even with the little spill. I know how you feel about your sunglasses Katheryn😢. Hope you find a similar pair soon. They looked so good on you:) waiting to see more of your upcoming videos. Stay safe❤
It was spectacular up there! We were able to find some new glasses in Innsbruck the next day 😊 but it was a sad day for the old Oakleys. They had a good life and they died in a beautiful place! Thanks for watching!
Great to see you both getting so much more adventurous, and visiting Germany for the first time! And thanks for the peek ahead so we knew you got new glasses and lenses. Hope the bruising healed quickly!
So glad you are back - gonna need to stay active to work off all those sugar delights at the Christmas Markets! Keep up the excellent filming along with your insights into each adventure! Blessings for a safe and healthy 2024!
There's absolutely no way I'd be up there without skis. Grew up skiing and have skied several mountain locations in the USA. Also used metal rail sleds back home. I'm a little addicted to speed on snow slopes, I'd probably be running with the sled in my hands and then jumping on, to get more speed. Haha
@@AdventuresofAplusK Wish skiing wasn't so expensive. If you wish to learn it, use rentals for a little while. Lift tickets are the most expensive part of it.
I’m just catching up on your Europe videos, omg the sledding looks so fun!! Such a fun idea to think of going to Europe in the winter, I’d loooove to check out REAL Christmas markets someday!!
I loved this video! I knew what the highest mountain was; we were there 34 years ago!! I loved watching you guys having a good time with the toboggan! “That was intense; let’s do it again”. You had a classic wipe out! LOL. LOL. LOL.
Hey guys great vlog I've been missing in action recently but i definitely enjoyed this one. My daughter is in Norway at the moment with her mum and i just hope she's having as much fun as you guys. Stay safe 😊
you gotta visit mountainous southern Tyrol. It's German speaking but belongs to Italy. Its highest mountain is even 1000m higher than the Zugspitze. I like southern tyrol so much because of the cuisine. Austrian tyrol cusine is similar to bavarian cuisine whereas in southern tyrol you kinda taste the italian influence: it's savory like in Germany but has more veggies to it.
Hi! We visited that area back in 2019! It was incredible! It's still, after all of our adventures, one of our top favorite places ever. Can't wait to go back one day! ua-cam.com/video/RGV5sl2GYLo/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB ua-cam.com/video/H9Vf7kZxA6o/v-deo.html&pp=gAQBiAQB
I just love your videos so much!!! It looked cold but soooo much fun, thanks for bringing us along and showing us the top of Germany!!! Wishing you both a happy and healthy 2024
Thanks for the great video: a great no-regrets choice whenever there's any winter sun. * With great atmospheric transparency, visitors at the summit can also identify mountain peaks in a 5th country, Liechtenstein, to the west, and the tallest peak in Austria, Grossglockner, to the east-southeast. Binoculars or a long-zoom lens may be needed. * As far as I'm aware, there's still a little Deutsche Post office from which mail can be sent, from the "highest post office in Germany" with its own Postleitzahl (postal code) of 82475. That is, if people still like receiving snail-mail, with certified postal stamps! * Finally, there is another alternative to ascending the shared Austrian-German summit: the Tiroler Zugspitzbahn cable-car from the Tirolean Austrian side in Obermoos and Ehrwald. Ehrwald is itself reachable from Garmisch-Partenkirchen with a regular regional train which goes between Reutte (in Tirol), Austria and Mittenwald, Germany.
Absolutely beautiful views! ❄️ I would have loved dining at the restaurant! This was so much fun! I hope your New Year is going well! 💖🥰 Can’t wait to see the next adventure.
@@AdventuresofAplusK But that would be a big mistake. Ravensburg is incredibly beautiful. You can see it here : ua-cam.com/video/d9oRXQNzbCM/v-deo.html
Zugspitze will definitely be open depending on the weather. I would check the weather and their operating schedule before going: zugspitze.de/en/Service-information/Opening-hours-timetables
Awesome video! I know its been a while but do you remember the cost of all you did there? I know the pass was ~60 eur, did that include the sledding or was that extra? Thank you!
Hi! The pass is still 60 something Euros and the sledding was extra, but only 15ish for both of us We have just finished writing a guide to things to do in Garmisch-Partenkirchen that shares more about Zugspitze! adventuresofaplusk.com/partnach-gorge-partnachklamm-garmisch-partenkirchen/ Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
Do you know if it is possible to take the train both ways? I’m going to that region in june with my sister who is afraid of heights, so she is not comfortable using the cable car. I’d love to go up there but it would be nice if my sister could also come at least up to the plateau.
Hi! I’m preeeetty sure you can. We had that question also. You for sure have to take a cable car to the summit but I think you can take the train back down
thanks, I think with a 16 year old teenager in tow the big mountain visit will probably be the better choice this time. thanks for the great video's, i am following a lot of your tips in 2 weeks for Munich. Why did you not go to Innsbruck or Saltzburg? @@AdventuresofAplusK
Totally understand your feelings about your sunglasses. I get very attached to mine as I search for the most comfortable, I can find and spend a fortune for prescription lenses. I lost my Oakley's in the bay of Alaska on a cruise. I have the habit of hanging them on my shirt on my chest. Leaned over the railing and there they go to the bottom. Some Tuna or some sea animal is swimming around looking very cool in my shades and no doubt flaunting them to whatever female species he is.
Aw man that is a big bummer! We have that habit as well. We'll have to rethink that! We'll let ya know if we spot a super cool lookin tuna out there one day! 😉😂 sorry for your loss
Thank you for this video! We just got back from Germany and we went up the Zugspitze! When we got to the plateau at Eibsee, it was still a clear albeit cloud-cover day so when we summitted and had lunch, it was too cloudy to see. Still got great photos though!! We ended up staying at a hotel in Partenkirchen and LOVED IT
Beautiful place! I ruined my wife’s best sunglasses by sitting on them in Yosemite. At least Adam ducked that bullet (which still ricochets around our house 🙄)

Honestly my second favorite video so far only one that’s better is the 100k Q+A
I agree! That video is so funny
So good to see Germany again. Brings back a truckload of memories. Two brave souls on that steep toboggan run! Looking forward to more next week!!!
Thank you for sharing that life isn't perfect. Enjoy your trip!!!!
I’m old enough to remember that the Winter Olympics were once held in Garmish. I visited there with my wife in the 2000’s. We drove from there to Zurich. It was an epic drive ( summer time, of course).

We were by there in december as well but snowing and cloudy so couldnt see mountains. Beautiful country! We would love to go back in spring

What spectacular views! Fun tobogganing, sad about your sun glasses. Glad you could get replacement lenses. Great vlog! - Michelle
So much fun! Those mountains are amazing! The tobogganing looked awesome! So sorry about your sunglasses, though. 😎 Thanks for taking us on this trip through Germany! ❤
Tobogganing was so much fun! A little too much lol The Oakleys died in a beautiful spot! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Hey, it’s a very informative video. I am planning to go this January but won’t be doing any skiing. Do I actually require snow pants just to play around?
You can wear whatever you're comfortable with as long as they keep you warm enough for the conditions
It's so crazy, I live in Germany and never was at the Zugspitze 🫣 but enjoyed my trips at the US so much☺️
How did you snag such epic window seats in that coffee spot??? Gorgeous - I wouldn't ever want to leave! Thanks again for sharing!!
It was epic! Thankfully there are lots of great seats with amazing views in that place!
Hey hey A+K! Beautiful scenery. I love sledding and I am glad you got to do it despite the epic wipe out. (Sorry about your broken sunglasses and bruising.)

We're back baby! That view will be hard to beat!
I did a week of ski lessons in Garmish back in 1995. On the last day I skied all the way down the Alpspitz.
Wow way to go! We really want to get into skiing one day!
I was therein 1982 during a 10-day bicycle from Augsburg -Munchen- Fussen.
thanks A & K
I’m sorry about your sunglasses and the boo boo… but this was a fantastic video and I loved it, especially you’re joyful smiles on the toboggan! The Mountain View’s were a dream to see, thank you for sharing 😊
RIP to the sunglasses, but they lived a fantastic life! We had so much fun...a little too much 😂
Thanks for sharing this Fabulous trip . I laughed with you while you were sledding. Can wait to see more of your trip to Germany.
I was smiling the whole time until you fell, that made me sad 😢. I'm glad you got up!
It was a tad scary, but so much fun! Thanks for watching!

wow those giggle laughs of terror while sliding down the slope on the mountain was so funny to hear, you're still having fun but it was obvious you were scared
oh we were definitely scared lol
Wow awesome thanks
Awesome mountains. Their is a ton of ski/snowboarding terrain. I never tried tobogganing, but those small butt sleds are wicked fast.
There is a trail around the Eibsee, a beuatifull lake..
We tried our darndest to hike it but the weather wasn’t working in our favor. Next time!
The views at the top of the lift and the coffee shop are amazing!😍Wow! What a fun day. So neat that y'all got to step into Austria!
The ability to go into Austria made it even better! And yes, how can you beat the view from the coffee shop!?
Sorry about your glasses Kathryn, but it was great fun to watch. Amazing views from the mountaintop. 👍😊🇮🇪🇩🇪
That's ok! They had a good run! Thank you!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Cool 🤣👍😊

Loved this guys! We had a whole trip booked there back right before Covid hit and we had to cancel. Making me think we need to rebook it!
It's definitely worth it! Especially with so much to see and do around there!

Beautiful video, can’t wait to visit Germany someday now! Sorry about your iconic sunglasses K 😢
It was a bummer they died, but they lived a great life and died in a beautiful spot!
Thanks for the great video: a great no-regrets choice whenever there's any winter sun.
* With great atmospheric transparency, visitors at the summit can also identify mountain peaks in a 5th country, Liechtenstein, to the west, and the tallest peak in Austria, Grossglockner, to the east-southeast. Binoculars or a long-zoom lens may be needed.
* As far as I'm aware, there's still a little Deutsche Post office from which mail can be sent, from the "highest post office in Germany" with its own Postleitzahl (postal code) of 82475. That is, if people still like receiving snail-mail, with certified postal stamps!
* Finally, there is another alternative to ascending the shared Austrian-German summit: the Tiroler Zugspitzbahn cable-car from the Tirolean Austrian side in Obermoos and Ehrwald. Ehrwald is itself reachable from Garmisch-Partenkirchen with a regular regional train which goes between Reutte (in Tirol), Austria and Mittenwald, Germany.
Funny, at the start of the video, I thought “she has had those glasses forever!” I keep mine forever too. RIP. Here is to new glasses in 2024,
haha yep they've lived a good life! And they died in a beautiful spot! To new glasses!
Great timing of this video as the artic freeze hits south Texas. State will be shut down for a few days 😂 so great time to watch y'all's videos :):)
Haha yeah we were just living in -degrees and everyone was going about their daily life with no issues. It’s so funny the contrast
@@AdventuresofAplusK meanwhile people at HEB here in Texas are taking all the toilet paper

We did! Stay tuned! 😊
Are you guys going to Ravensburg? I traced my grandmother’s branch of the family tree to Ravensburg from the 1850’s all the way back to the 1500’s.
No we didn’t go to Ravensburg. That’s awesome to know that family history!

Ein tolles Video! Ihr macht das besser als die Deutschen selbst. Grüße aus Stuttgart
Thank you!
Is there not a third option for reaching the summit of Zugspitze…hiking up?
There is. However it is only for mountaineer pros. And I really mean pros. It's a long and very difficult climb.
Yes you can hike up. It does look like a pretty intense hike, but it can be done in good conditions. We'd love to do it one day!
Do you know if it is possible to take the train both ways? I’m going to that region in june with my sister who is afraid of heights, so she is not comfortable using the cable car. I’d love to go up there but it would be nice if my sister could also come at least up to the plateau.
Hi! I’m preeeetty sure you can. We had that question also. You for sure have to take a cable car to the summit but I think you can take the train back down
Which site or app to use for weather prediction in zugspitze? Which one you used for this?
We just used their website! zugspitze.de/en
do you recommend a night here or in Fussen? Im trying to decide which one to stay at before Innsbruck
That's a tough pick! If you only have one day we'd probably go with Garmisch-Partenkirchen. You can't go wrong with either though. Both amazing!
thanks, I think with a 16 year old teenager in tow the big mountain visit will probably be the better choice this time. thanks for the great video's, i am following a lot of your tips in 2 weeks for Munich. Why did you not go to Innsbruck or Saltzburg? @@AdventuresofAplusK
We did go to Innsbruck for a day. We just didn’t have a lot of time in the area. With filming and other work going on everything just takes longer
Totally understand your feelings about your sunglasses. I get very attached to mine as I search for the most comfortable, I can find and spend a fortune for prescription lenses. I lost my Oakley's in the bay of Alaska on a cruise. I have the habit of hanging them on my shirt on my chest. Leaned over the railing and there they go to the bottom. Some Tuna or some sea animal is swimming around looking very cool in my shades and no doubt flaunting them to whatever female species he is.
Aw man that is a big bummer! We have that habit as well. We'll have to rethink that! We'll let ya know if we spot a super cool lookin tuna out there one day! 😉😂 sorry for your loss
Awesome video
Will you go to the top of Innsbruck and visit Berchtesgaden?
We went to Innsbruck for one day, but didn’t film it and no we didn’t visit Berchtesgaden this time
What app did u guys use to check visibility?
The Zugspitze website has webcams and they were very helpful zugspitze.de/en
Crashing while tobbaganing is half the fun!
Heck yeah!
Thank you for this video! We just got back from Germany and we went up the Zugspitze! When we got to the plateau at Eibsee, it was still a clear albeit cloud-cover day so when we summitted and had lunch, it was too cloudy to see. Still got great photos though!! We ended up staying at a hotel in Partenkirchen and LOVED IT
That's so awesome! It's amazing out there. We're glad you had a great time!
Does that cable car go fast? Looks scary 😮
It moved pretty quick!
👍😊👍
Did you have cell phone reception up there?
Yes we did!
Beautiful place! I ruined my wife’s best sunglasses by sitting on them in Yosemite. At least Adam ducked that bullet (which still ricochets around our house 🙄)
Oh no! That's a bummer! Hopefully she could get some replacements!
You are so sweet, best choices of tours.
You left your dog???????
She’s too big for the normal cabin and we aren’t putting her through the cargo experience
RIP sunglasses
Great video ! Also wondering if you guys are Mormon ?
Thanks!
No, we aren’t religious
Didn’t mean to get personal haha just wondering about the drinking etc :)
Keep up the good work !
No worries! The drinking is just personal choice
Thanks and thank you for watching!
