 For
untrained climbers the only
possibility to reach the Zugspitze
is the way along the Rein valley.
First you walk through the Partnach
gorge (Partnachklamm). At its exit
you continue to the right on the
forest street to the Bock hut
(Bockhütte); shortly farther after
about 1 and a half hours you pass
the small lake Blaue Gumpe.
Then, you reach first the
Reintalanger lodge (phone (08821)
2903) and afterwards the Knorr
refuge (phone (08821) 2905), both
serviced. Up to this hut you need
about 8 hours. There is still 1 hour
and a half to arrive at the
restaurant Sonn-Alpin. A cable car
runs from here to the mountain peak. |

| For the descent back to town
you choose between the cogwheel train and the Eibsee cable car. No mountain
guide is necessary to perform this tour, if you have hiking experience and
the right equipment.
The way across the Höllental gorge (Höllentalklamm)
instead (difficulty grade: difficult) requires climbing experience. It takes
about 8 hours to the east summit starting in Hammersbach over the gorge, the
Höllentalanger lodge, the "Brett".
