A mountain resort town in Bavaria, Garmisch-Partenkirchen lies in the Oberbayern region which borders Austria. Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany, is situated nearby. The mountain has an altitude of around 10,000 Feet and offers gorgeous glacier-top skiing. Garmisch and Partenkirchen were separate towns earlier and were merged for the 1936 Winter Olympics. Now, it is one of largest tourist ski towns that offer marvelous hiking, skiing and biking opportunities. The town offers amazing hiking experience and panoramic mountain views during the summers and provides a remarkable experience for skiers and sightseers alike during winters. One of the best ways to soak in the sights of the town is a cogwheel train trip up to the top of the Zugspitze Mountain. Designated as a natural monument in 1912, the Partnach Gorge (Partnachklamm) is one of the major attractions in the town. It is around 700 meters long and over 80 meters in width. A sequence of galleries and tunnels has been imprinted on the rock along one side, allowing visitors to walk through the river and duck behind waterfalls. The Hollentalklamm gorgeis another popular spot that offers an exclusive, strange landscape and presents a great awareness about the powers of nature. Hollentalklamm is home to gorges of around 150 meters’ deep, countless waterfalls, huge rock, ice chunks, winding paths, bridges and tunnels. Take a walk down any street in the town and you will be surprised at the paintings on the outside of several homes. The people here have a long history of beautifying the exteriors of their houses with both spiritual and significant paintings. Visitors have the option to have a romantic train ride between Garmisch and Kempten through attractive Alpine valleys and attractive towns.
