Zugspitze

The Zugspitze is the tallest mountain peak in the German Alps, so of course we had to check it out. We rode to the top in a cable car. The ride was a bit of a frightening experience really, knowing that only a little cable and a rickety old box were keeping us from plunging to our deaths. It was a bit like a roller coaster, the tallest roller coaster EVER. But my, the view was AMAZING!

Who says the lines on maps don't really exist?! They do here! That line in the picture below is the actual dividing line between Germany and Austria

Okay, a bit juvenile, but a lot of fun. We had a blast throwing snowballs off the mountain and timing their descent. It felt like those snowballs took forever to fall. A memorable and worthwhile day trip.
