Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Join us on a small tour through Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Our starting
point is the Ski-stadium (Skistadion). Here the Fourth Olympic
Winter Games took place in 1936. Garmisch and Partenkirchen, two
formerly separated communities were united then. Partenkirchen
with its unique atmosphere is the older part of town. Tradition
is still alive here. An impressive example is the art of "Lüftlmalerei"
(murals), which has been practiced for centuries until today.
Also in modern Garmisch one can find some traditional places.
The streets Sonnen- and Frühlingsstrasse are worthwhile visiting.
For shopping tours you visit the shopping-street and the area
around the spa gardens. And with a bit of luck you can supplement
your budget at the Garmisch-Partenkirchen Casino (Spielbank).
Zugspitze and Eibsee
Lake Eibsee is situated at the foot of the monumental mountain
Zugspitze. A walking tour around the lake (about 7 km) is not
too exhausting and feels like like balm for the soul. The cable
railway takes you to the top of Germany's tallest mountain. At
2966 metres above sea level you have a fabulous view over the
Bavarian alpine upland.
Partnachklamm
Constant dripping wears away the stone. In the course of millennia,
torrents paved their way through the rocks carved deep canyons.
Partnachklamm is about 700 metres long, its rock faces are reaching
80 metres. Additional, manmade galleries and passages make the
gorge accessible also during winter, when bizarre icicles turn
this natural beauty into a fairytale landscape. At the other end,
the Reintal is waiting for you – a hikers' paradise.
Visit the Bauerntheater (Folklore theatre)
Bavarian way of life and ribald sense of humour are part and parcel
of the Bavarian "Bauerntheater". It is mostly performed
in dialect and both amusing and entertaining. The Partenkirchen
"Bauertheater" is well known not only in the region,
but also nationwide.
Casino (SPIELBANK) Garmisch-Partenkirchen
You can find stylish atmosphere and maybe also lucky hand at the
Gambling House Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The posh interior of the
casino is a stylish ambiance perfect for concluding a great day.
Alpspitz Wellenbad (Swimming pool with artificial waves)
Why not take a day's break at the Alpspitz water world? Every
hour there are artificial waves rolling through the large pool.
There also are a multitude of other pools – from the mother-child-pool
to the open-air whirlpool – altogether covering 2200 square
metres it is great fun for the whole family. Sauna and massage
areas.
Sumeer toboggan run
The summer toboggan run is great fun not only for kids. Right
next to the Skistadion it stretches over 650 metres downhill.
A great adventure for the whole family! Accessible only in dry
weather;
