 | | Even though it lacks the prestige of being the highest peak in Germany, the Watzmann still attracts crowds of mountaineers every year, all eager to conquer the second highest summit in the country. |
 | | Located 2,000 meters from the base of the most demanding incline on the mountain, the 100-year-old mountaineers' refuge provides welcome shelter for a brief stop or an overnight stay either on the way up or way down. |
 | | The Watzmann consists of three summits: the Hocheck at 2,651 meters is relatively easy to climb and takes about two to three hours to complete from the Watzmannhaus. |
