Today we went to the top of Germany. We took a train from the Hauptbahnhof out to Garmisch. From there, we took a train up the mountain to Grainau where we hopped a bus to Eibsee then caught a funicular to a platform where we jumped in a gondola. It was snowing at the top, but we were not in blizzard whiteout conditions. There was plenty of snow for snowballs, and some of us made it out to an observation platform through three or four feet of snow. We weren't too wet and cold during this adventure. The restaurant at the top of Germany had decent goulash and great hot cocoa. The return trip from Zugspitze went down a long long gondola directly to Eibsee. Thankfully for the clouds you could not see very far, this is one of the scariest things we ever do. Safe, but scary.
