of two routes. One follows the valley,<br />

winding through lush meadows below<br />

the magnificent Wettersteins. The<br />

trail passes the pretty Riessersee, with<br />

views to the Zugspitze reflected in its<br />

crystal waters. The other option leaves<br />

the valley shortly after passing the<br />

Riessersee. Here the Kreuzeck cable<br />

car is available to lift you high into<br />

the mountains. A well marked path<br />

contours around the Waxenstein<br />

Mountain, before descending through<br />

some of the best scenery the Bavarian<br />

Alps has to offer. The route continues<br />

through a narrow gorge to Grainau.<br />

6 or 8 miles (10 or 13km).<br />

Day 8: Grainau. Known as the<br />

Zugspitze village, Grainau is a wonderful<br />

blend of natural gr<strong>and</strong>eur, enhanced<br />

by the legacy of beautiful buildings left<br />

by farmers through the ages. Window<br />

boxes burst with colour against<br />

weathered timber walls, with the sheer<br />

face of the Zugspitze rearing behind.<br />

Nearby are two picturesque lakes: the<br />

Badersee <strong>and</strong> the Eibsee. The former<br />

is emerald green <strong>and</strong> has a statue of a<br />

mermaid hidden in its depths. The latter<br />

nestles high above Grainau <strong>and</strong> makes<br />

an excellent focus for a day out walking.<br />

Grainau is also a stop on the Zugspitze<br />

train <strong>and</strong> offers another opportunity to<br />

enjoy the spectacular views <strong>from</strong> the<br />

top of Germany’s highest mountain.<br />

Day 9: Today we say “Auf<br />

Wiedersehen”. We will transfer you<br />

direct <strong>from</strong> Grainau to Munich airport<br />

by train or minibus, <strong>and</strong> look forward<br />

to look forward to welcoming you back<br />

again next year.<br />
