点评:The highest point in Germany is a fun half day trip that can become full day with a hike at Eibsee. It is best to visit on a cloud-less day, unfortunately for us, we had partial cloud cover in the morning and storms in the afternoon. We had a good visit despite the weather. Our home base was the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. We walked to the Zugspitze train station from our hotel (this is different than the other train station that operates DB trains, they are right next to each other and it's hard to miss the "Zugspitze" sign on the one you want). We arrived to the station and purchased Zugspitze tickets. That is good for a roundtrip on the cog train and cable car (both take you to the top, but the cable car is much quicker, I suggest cable car up and train down). I recommend sitting on the right side of the train for better views. Be mindful not to get the "Garmisch Classic" ticket, it will not take you up to the top of the Zugspitze, it takes you to different hiking points with are excellent in their own right. There are fun things to do at the top. There is a restaurant, toilet and gift shop. We were able to enjoy about a half day because the weather quickly changed and became unsafe for outdoor activities. But, you can make a full day out of it by taking a hike around the Eibsee or even taking a dip (Eibsee, or Lake Eib, is located at the base of the cable car station and there is a cog train station there as well).
If it is super cloudy or the weather is bad the entire day, it is hard to recommend going to the top. Tickets are not cheap and it is hard to justify the cost to see only twenty meters in front of you. The engineering accomplishment is incredible, but might not be enough to justify the cost.
翻译:前往德国的最高点是一次有趣的半日游,如果在艾布湖徒步旅行,可以变成一整天。最好选择万里无云的日子去参观,可惜我们上午有部分云层覆盖,下午又有暴风雨。尽管天气不好,我们还是玩得很开心。我们的基地是加米施-帕滕基兴镇。我们从酒店步行到楚格峰火车站(这与另一个运营德国铁路列车的火车站不同,这两个火车站彼此相邻,而且很难错过“楚格峰”的标志)。我们到达火车站后购买了楚格峰的车票。这样可以乘坐齿轨火车和缆车往返(两者都可以到达山顶,但缆车更快,我建议乘坐缆车上山,再乘坐火车下山)。我建议坐在火车的右侧,以便更好地欣赏风景。注意不要买“加米施经典”票,它不会带你登顶楚格峰,而是带你前往不同的徒步点,这些点本身就很棒。山顶有很多好玩的地方。那里有餐厅、洗手间和礼品店。我们只玩了半天,因为天气变化很快,不适合户外活动。不过,你也可以在艾布湖周围徒步,甚至在湖里游泳(艾布湖,或称艾布湖,位于缆车站脚下,那里还有一个齿轨火车站),这样就能玩一整天了。
如果天气阴沉或一整天都很糟糕,就不建议登顶了。门票不便宜,而且为了看到眼前只有二十米的景色而花这么多钱也不太值得。工程成就令人惊叹,但可能不足以值回票价。
