Audio tour · Königshaus am Schachen

2:16

You're standing at the King's House on Schachen, high up in the Wetterstein mountains, about ten kilometres south of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. If you made it here, you've earned it. The only way up is a ten-kilometre forest road, or a hike of around three hours with a thousand metres of climbing, starting from Garmisch-Partenkirchen or Schloss Elmau. Along the way you get a view of the Zugspitze, among other peaks.
