"Parked in the multi-storey car park by the ski centre at 47.85839N, 08.03652E. Took the trail, mainly on tarmac, around and up the eastern side of the mountain and up to the col at Grüble. Then SE to the top of Seebuck, returning to the col to take the main trail up to the summit. Stood at the highest legal point by the weather station compound, and on a granite block at the nearby viewpoint. The highest point in the restricted area looked to be a man-made dirt mound. Natural summit most likely erased. Returned by outward route, with lunch at the Seebuckhütte. With ALT.
Sunshine, with cloudless skies above an extensive cloud inversion, but a cold easterly wind." — marktrengove • Nov 13, 2022
"So... originating from a conversation on twitter, I ended up ascending the Zugspitze a second time, three days after my first summit. This time I took the cable car down, however. Enough is enough :)" — TheTMan • Jul 23, 2020
"Combining arguably the two most scenic routes to the Zugspitze to one gigantic day trip has been a longstanding dream of mine. With perfect weather conditions, and on a weekday (highly recommended) a friend and I finally made it happen. Started at around 5:45am in Hammersbach, went through the Höllentalklamm gorge, two ferratas, and across the Höllentalferner glacier to the summit, where we arrived at around 1pm. Went back to Garmisch through the Reintal valley, which is both beautiful and near-endless. Total trip took around 16h and was about 41km and 3000m elev. gain." — TheTMan • Jul 20, 2020
"#12 of the "Sixteen Summits" of the German states. The summit lies in a beautiful moist forest that was tinted in autumn colors. The biggest challenge was getting there and finding the way to the top from Woldegk." — Adrian • Oct 31, 2017
