The 50 varied routes in the Rother hiking guide "Zugspitze" lead to the area around Murnau, Oberammergau, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Mittenwald, Ehrwald and Seefeld. They include easy to moderately difficult hikes, but also summit tours for experienced mountaineers. Of course, all four ascents to the Zugspitze are also presented.</p><p>Beautiful villages lie in wide, sun-drenched valley floors covered in meadows. Behind them tower impressive rocky peaks. The Karwendel, Wetterstein and Mieminger mountains draw the eye. In the deeply carved valleys of the mysterious Höllentalklamm and Partnachklamm gorges, thundering torrents cascade down into the valley. The peaks offer fantastic views and there are often hospitable huts and mountain pastures along the way. Numerous lakes invite you to take a dip.</p><p>For each route, they provide exact directions as well as information on requirements, accessibility by public transport, refreshment stops and variants. A detailed map section with the route marked and an informative elevation profile make it easy to find your way around. GPS tracks are also available to download from the Rother Bergverlag website.</p><p>Authors Franziska Baumann and Dieter Seibert are outstanding experts on the Zugspitz region. They present 50 of the most beautiful routes with plenty of variations in their home region.</p
