Zugspitze 4 - the descent to the Eisbee Lake cable car station


We had planned to take the cogwheel train down the Zugspitze.  But we found out the train took an hour and a half while the cable car was 8 minutes.  So I just looked up the mountain.  But it was not as scary the second time around!

Rugged granite outcrops of the summit of the Zugspitze on the border of Germany and Austria.  At 9700 feet

Beautiful sky over Zugspitze

We meet the other cable car mid way on the trip back to Lake Eibsee


Hard to imagine that we could climb to the top of the mountain in 8 minutes in a cable car!  But what an amazing view!!
