Bavaria Garmisch-Partenkirchen
I made two trips to this great area. One in '94 and one in '96. I had just started hiking in the US and really enjoyed it.
I was in Frankfurt to visit my great aunt, Meine leibe Tante Anne and while I had some down time I decided to visit the German Alps.

'96 Trip
My main goal was to rock climb but the weather did not cooperate. So I hiked quite a bit.

Die Wank
Partnachklamm Gorge
I Made a trip to the gorge a rock & ice climber's heaven (if they allow it)!
The Zugspitze is on the left. Germany's highest peak.
I hiked the Kramerspitz 6512 ft / 1985 m, I did summit but there was a ton of snow up there.
