 | | Located near the Austrian border in the Bavarian district of Garmish-Partenkirchen, the mighty mountain reaches an impressive 2,962 meters, or 9,718 feet. |
 | | And while you most certainly could scale the Zugspitze in the traditional sense (hiking from the base to the top takes two days), the less sporty among us can also enjoy the breathtaking vistas thanks to the Zugspitzbahn cog railway, or two cable car lines that go to the peak. |
 | | Of course, these options mean that the summit is regularly crowded with tourists, but then again, you can bet that, with all that fresh Alpine air, coffee and apple strudel never tasted so good. |
