Top 26 things to do and attractions in Mittenwald

We brought our 9 and 12 year old who play the violin here today to see how violins were made here in Mittenwald. They were so friendly and welcoming. The kids loved seeing the violin workshop. We all enjoyed seeing the many steps it takes to make a violin and bow, and we learned a lot about the history of violin making in Mittenwald. This museum has a lot of beautiful old instruments on display. It was well worth visiting and we really enjoyed it.

Very informative museum that explains well the whole process of making a violin from the selection of trees for wood until a violinist can play the instrument. They provide a personal show and also an informative video on top of the hundreds of display items.

Very nice museum with a lot of explanations mostly in German but audio and movie are in English. Many original exhibits from several centuries. Entry 5 euros. We spent 2 hours inside on a rainy day

Amazing how much time, effort skill and passion goes into making a violin.. very interesting museum, with the possibility to touch, feel and even smell the different stages of building a violin

My husband and I recently spent a week in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area of southern Germany, and one day were looking for a nearby town to explore, and Mittenwald was suggested to us by hotel staff. What an amazing find! We stumbled upon the Geigenbaumuseum (Violin Museum) by chance just leisurely walking around town, and it was so lovely and well done. It is housed within a building constructed in the 1700s where master violin makers worked for hundreds of years. We learned about violin making and also about the interesting history of the town itself. The museum staff was very kind, and despite not speaking much English (we very easily used the Google Translate app to read exhibit signs, it worked great), they managed to convey everything we needed to know to have an enjoyable visit. It is not a large museum, but has two levels with plenty to see; it was well worth the 5.50 euro admission. Mittenwald is a beautiful little town nestled at the base of the alps, and I highly recommend a visit, and the Geigenbaumuseum is a must-see when you go.

Cool museum with many violins that are decades and in many cases hundreds of years old. The clerk at the front desk was extremely pleasant. There are also wooden masks and cellos. We saw everything in about 45 minutes, but you could easily spend an hour reading all the informative placards. Worth the fee and close to just about everything in town.

Informative exhibits worth a visit. Staff could not help us research our 1790 Mittenwald violin or learn more about its maker, Joseph Kriner. We found later generation Kriner instruments on exhibit, but the staff was disappointingly uninterested and unhelpful. We had planned to spend 3 days in Mittenwald, but left after one afternoon.

This is a must-see attraction in Mittenwald. The gondola ride to the top is quick and reasonably priced, and the views from the top of the mountain are spectacular. Lots of hiking trails as well.

Definitely fun to go up the cable car ride. We went during Spring, so the weather was not too cold. I recommend bringing a jacket and hiking shoes if you intend to explore the peak. There was still a lot of ice on the top, so be careful. Don't bring your kids on the hikes as it's there are a lot of sharp rocks. The ride itself costs about 26.5 Euros. I didn't try the restaurant at the top. There's a nice sandy playground at the base camp. Worth going up if you are around the Mittenwald area.

Traveled around German on vacation with my brother and this was our favorite thing that we did throughout our trip. It is the second tallest cable car in Germany and the view from the top is breath taking. There were several hiking options which seemed like they would require a bit of planning before heading down the mountain, some of the paths down had cables to clip into. We had really great timing. We went up in the morning after breakfast and the weather was great without too many people. We did the small loop and hung out for awhile before heading back down the mountain.

Very friendly staff. Nice and cozy outside decoration. View from the top are amazing. Very friendly with kids.

The cars are relatively high-capacity. The lines seem to follow a rush hour pattern, so be prepared to wait if you try to leave the top at the end of the day.

Pricey but a very neat trip. I would recommend if you are in Mittenwald. Skip the food at the top, though.

Charming old cablecar that leads to great views and a number of excellent hiking and via ferreta trips.

We went to Lautersee and Ferchensee von Mittenwald, both easy for relaxed hiking, breathtaking views.

Peaceful, quiet and fresh air. Perfect!

No words to describe beauty of nature! Must vist places..hiking time from mittenwald train station to frechensee around 1.15min.

Eazy and enjoyable trekking experience. Mesmerizing views. Recommended for beginners

Mittenwald, located along the Austrian border, is the home to charming cobbled streets, mountain landscapes and the art of crafting classical instruments. This town might be the most beautiful town in the Bavarian Alps.

The view is absolutely mesmerizing.

Best place to visit in Winter, those who loves snow but are not able to go to mountains.

(Translated by Google) Simply magnificent! The panorama from the top of the mountain is probably one of the most beautiful we've ever seen. The wooden loungers invite you to linger and take a short rest. The path up is signposted and paved, although there are some steep sections. The climb from the parking lot, more than 400 meters in elevation over just under 4km, could be strenuous for inexperienced hikers, but there's always the chairlift, which takes you down a few meters. The view of the Karwendel Mountains is truly breathtaking! (Original) Einfach herrlich! Das Panorama oben auf dem Berg zählt wohl zu einem der schönsten, die wir jemals gesehen haben. Die Holzliegen laden zum Verweilen ein und zu einer kurzen Rast. Der Weg hoch ist ausgeschildert und gepflastert, auch wenn hier ab und zu mal steile Stellen dabei sind. Vom Parkplatz mehr als 400 Höhenmeter auf knapp 4km könnte für Ungeübte anstrengend werden, es gibt aber ja immer noch den Sessellift, der einen einige Höhenmeter abnimmt. Der Blicn auf das Karwendelgebirge ist wirklich traumhaft!

(Translated by Google) It's always a beautiful hike to the Kranzberg. You have a fabulous view of the Karwendel and Wetterstein ranges. It's a particularly easy hike. (Original) Es ist immer wieder schön auf den Kranzberg zu kommen. Man hat einen fabelhaften Blick auf das Karwendelgebirge und das Wettersteingebirge. Es wandert sich besonders leicht.

(Translated by Google) We took the chairlift up to Kranzberg (children under 6 must sit on your lap) and then hiked back along the hiking trail to Lautersee, past the waterfall, and back to the parking lot. There's a parking fee and you can pay using a parking ticket or the Easy Park app. The hiking trail and the view were absolutely beautiful and easy to manage with children (little ones in a backpack, strollers not allowed). The trail remains interesting, goes through the forest, and is therefore mostly well shaded. At the lake, you can stop at a restaurant, get an ice cream or a drink at the kiosk, take a break, or even cool off in the lakeside pool (for a fee). From there, you can continue to the waterfall (a small detour) and then return to the parking lot. Benches and trash cans are located along the trail. You pass through a small rock garden with information about different types of rock. Our children loved the whole trail. (Original) Wir sind mit dem Sessellift auf den Kranzberg hoch gefahren (Kinder unter 6 Jahren müssen auf dem Schoß sitzen) und dann über den Wanderweg zum Lautersee, am Wasserfall vorbei bis zum Parkplatz zurück gewandert. Der Parkplatz ist kostenpflichtig und kann via Parkschein oder easy park app bezahlt werden. Der Wanderweg und der Ausblick waren super schön und auch gut mit Kindern schaffbar (Kleine in die Kraxe, Kinderwagen nicht möglich) der Weg bleibt interessant, geht durch den Wald, ist also meist gut beschattet und am See hat man die Möglichkeit im Restaurant einzukehren, sich am Kiosk ein Eis oder Getränk zu gönnen und Pause zu machen oder sich sogar (gegen Eintritt) im Seebad abzukühlen. Von da aus kann man weiter zum Wasserfall (kleiner Umweg) und dann zum Parkplatz zurück. Bänke und Mülleimer liegen auf dem Weg. Man kommt durch einen kleinen Steingarten mit Informationen zu verschiedenen Steinarten. Unsere Kinder fanden den gesamten Weg super.

Great experience and view ! Tickets is for one time only entrance! At end you can walk on and take 2 alternative routes back to ' Ski resort'. Left(45 min) or right (1 1/2 hour). Both is a hike up hill at first

Superb experience. I am definitely returning in winter to experience the icicles. Make sure to have waterproof gear as it’s decently wet while inside. You walk primarily under mini waterfalls. Combine the gorge walk with more hiking (trails start at exit) and it will be a full day in nature. The gorge on its own is a very short trek. Going at opening is recommended to avoid the huge crowds.

🌟🌲 Magical Day at Partnachklamm – Adventure for the Whole Family! 🌲🌟 What an unforgettable day! We kicked things off in style—took the gondola up to the top, which already felt like the start of a fairy tale. The views were breathtaking, and the fresh mountain air had everyone smiling (and hungry 😄). The kids had a blast at the Spielplatz—honestly, it was hard to pull them away! But the promise of Schnitzel and a cold Bier at the cozy Gaststätte nearby did the trick 🍺🍽️. Total win for parents and kids alike. Then came the real adventure: the descent through the forest, winding across wooden and steel hanging bridges, following the trail down toward the gorge. As we entered Partnachklamm, it truly felt like stepping into Middle-earth—dark tunnels, roaring water, moss-covered cliffs… all we were missing was a hobbit guide! The path through the gorge was exciting but totally manageable—2hrs perfectly fine for kids over 7 (ours were in awe, not scared!). And once we emerged into the valley, the river calmed and we could stroll along peacefully, taking in the beauty. 📸 Pro tip: bring a rain jacket for the gorge—it gets splashy in the best way! All in all, a perfect mix of fun, nature, food, and fairy-tale magic. Highly recommend for families looking for a bit of adventure without too much intensity. We’ll be back for sure!

I heard of it many times but never had the time to swing by when we drove through GAP on the way back from Italy. This year we stayed a night in GAP and decided to visit the Klam and I have to say it was absolutely worth it. 25 bucks for 2 adults and one kid is fair for what you are getting. A 20min light walk from the Olympia stadium parking area to the entrance of the Klam - you can buy tickets here - or online in advance. The path through the Klam and even beyond are really nice - I would come a second time if/when I'm back in town.

It was beautiful. Tickets were a bit expensive and I recommend bringing cash because a lot of stores were cash only. Overall it was really nice

Make sure bringing a rain jacket with you. It was a surprising spot for us as a rain check plan. It turned out to be a real “rain” check spot. We didn’t bring rain jackets or hoodies, and we were all wet. But the view and scenery of gorge is magnificent and fantastic. The trail was build under waterfalls, it was “raining” all over the place. But, it’s a nice tourist spot to visit.

It’s an incredible place to be! And it’s quite easy for kids 6-7 years old as well 👌

It was a great experience overall. Very tasty food. However, i felt that for the amount paid, the portions of gordon bleu could have more salad and more chips. The atmosphere was great and the place is clean. Definitely i would recommend. Just a touch pricey in my opinion!

Great place to stop for lunch. Super food and a well deserved 🍻 beer or two in the sunshine. Everyone very friendly and helpful. Been past here lots of times but never stopped for lunch. Wish I'd visited sooner! Menu is in English and German. It's cash only. The beer shop behind the building is also worth a visit.

If your looking for a place for good food and good beer this is your place. Had some Mittenwald beer from a couple of places while staying in Mittenwald and it was tasty. Walked to this place for dinner on our last night in town and was pleasantly surprised at everything this place had to offer. Cool looking dinning area, great service, great food and of course great beer. If you are staying in Mittenwald or just driving through stop by this place. If you are staying in Mittenwald this is an easy walk. After a long day of hiking this meal hit the spot!!

Great restaurant with best beers and mountain views. Number 11 and 12 meals are most recommended by local friends.

Great food, great service and good beer 🍻

Stumbled upon this terrific little brewery after hiking around Leutasch Spirit Gorge. Great food and excellent beers. Especially loved their radler, packed a few in the luggage to take home.

Delicious food and beer at great value with a gorgeous view of the mountains!

Top..

Beautiful! Totally worth the small admission.

(Translated by Google) Easy hiking trails. Very beautiful nature. We got a free parking space on a side street in town. From there we hiked to Lautersee in 35 minutes. Then you could hike to Ferchensee in about 45 minutes. The hiking trails are very well signposted. On the way back from Lake Lautersee we passed the small waterfalls. The mountain panorama is impressive. Very suitable for families. (Original) Leichte Wanderwege . Sehr schöne Natur. Wir haben einen kostenlosen Parkplatz in einer Seitenstraße im Ort bekommen. Von dort sind wir in 35 Minuten zum Lautersee gewandert. Danach könnte man in ca.45 Minuten zum Ferchensee wandern . Die Wanderwege sind sehr gut ausgeschildert. Auf dem Rückweg vom Lautersee sind wir an den kleinen Wasserfällen vorbei. Das Bergpanorama ist beeindruckend. Sehr gut für Familien geeignet.

Water looks muddy instead of clear due to rain (july28,2025) Despite the surroundings are charming.

Open supposedly from 10, I was after 11 and everything was closed. It was impossible to see the waterfall.

(Translated by Google) The Leutasch Gorge, also called the Ghost Gorge, is well worth seeing. Starting from Mittenwald, you first climb a mountain, which is already strenuous, and reach a gently swinging bridge over to the actual path. After the bridge, it's best to keep to the left. High above the gorge, you walk exclusively on iron railings, which is definitely not pleasant for dogs. Far below runs a stream, which, as with any gorge, becomes a raging torrent in places. At some point, we turned around and walked back. The descent through the forest is very steep in places, so good footwear is a plus. Once at the bottom, we treated ourselves to the waterfall for €5 per adult. The path there runs below, in the gorge, a few meters above the rushing stream. This path over the boardwalk and the waterfall alone is a true highlight; definitely worth doing. (Original) Die Leutaschklamm, auch genannt die Geisterklamm ist schon Sehenswert. Von Mittenwald ausgehend steigt man erstmal einen Berg hoch, was schon schon anstrengend ist, und gelangt zu einer leicht schwingenden Brücke rüber zum eigentlichen Weg. Nach der Brücke geht man am besten erstmal links entlang. Hoch über der Schlucht läuft man ausschließlich über Gittereisen, für Hund bestimmt nicht angenehm. Tief unten verläuft ein Bach der Stellenweise wie bei jeder Klamm zum reißenden Fluss wird. Irgendwann sind wir umgekehrt und zurück gelaufen. Bergab durch den Wald geht's teilweise sehr Steil, gutes Schuhwerk ist von Vorteil. Unten angekommen gönnten wir uns für 5€ pro Erwachsenen den Wasserfall. Der Weg dorthin verläuft unten, in der Schlucht, einige Meter über dem reißenden Bach. Alleine dieser Weg über Brettersteig und der Wasserfall ist ein wahres Highlight, unbedingt machen.

(Translated by Google) A wonderful nature experience, easy to hike. However, you shouldn't be afraid of heights. (Original) Tolles Naturerlebnis, leicht zu erwandern. Allerdings darf man keine Höhenangst haben.

A must visit for all people who like walking though nature. This place is amazing and so beautiful. U walk through it and wonder how nature works and see that if u leave nature to itself it does amazing things. People with wheelchair, strollers and people with walking handicap will have a hard time walking though here. Also when u go through the gorge is good to have a flash light, waterproof clothing and hiking booth.

Beautiful experience! The Partnachklamm is very well maintained and easy to follow, with clear paths and a nicely mapped route through the gorge. It’s a relatively easy hike. It can get a bit crowded on weekends, but the scenery more than makes up for it. After exiting the gorge, there are plenty of hiking trails to choose from if you’d like to continue exploring. Highly recommended!

Amazing place, gorgeous. Nature is impressive and the power of water is very obvious here. Some parts are rather dark though, so maybe bring a torch or just use your mobile phone for lighting. The paths are narrow in some parts but seeing that there wasn't too much going on, it was not a problem. I can imagine that it might be bothersome on busy day.

Visiting Partnachklamm – Beautiful, But Overpriced Partnachklamm (Partnach Gorge) is undeniably a natural wonder and a must-see if you're in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area. The gorge is stunning, with its narrow passageways, towering limestone walls, and the sound of rushing water echoing through the canyon. It's an impressive display of raw natural beauty that photographers and nature-lovers will absolutely appreciate. However, the experience does come with a downside: the entrance fee. At €10 per adult (as of 2025), it feels steep for what is essentially a short, 700-meter walk through the gorge. While the path is well-maintained and safety measures are clearly in place, the high price doesn’t quite match the duration or complexity of the attraction. There's no guided experience included, and facilities are fairly basic. If you're traveling with a family or on a budget, the cost can add up quickly. It would be more reasonable if the ticket included access to nearby trails or some additional interpretive content about the geology and history of the gorge. In short: Pros: Stunning scenery, unique experience, easily accessible. Cons: Short walk, crowded during peak hours, and overpriced for what you get. Worth visiting once, especially if you've never seen a gorge like this before — but be prepared to pay more than you'd expect for a brief nature walk.

It’s a beauty. Observing the gorge and the surrounding was a very nice adventure. Obviously it might get a bit crowded especially on the weekends but the beauty wouldn’t allow anything to interfere. There is also a very nice hike route right after the gorge. Totally recommend.

Amazing experience walking along the catwalk and carved path through this glacial slot canyon! The water is clear and tinted ice-blue, rushing, and slicing through space that seems only a few feet wide, while you walk through cavernous tunnels and under overhangs. And then, coming out the other side, you get to walk back above and over it all! What a fun hike!! Just be prepared for some steep walking with good shoes, water, and a flashlight for those dark sections!

Very beautiful gorge. Absolutely worth the entry price. Expect to get some drops of water as you go. It was pretty busy on a Friday morning. The walk above the gorge on the way back is really picturesque too.

Very high traffic, great place to hike, explore, plenty of photo opportunities, ride or walk to the top for even more hiking, restaurant, playground, walk barefoot on the mountain reconnecting with Earth's energy.

It was a great experience for me even though I visited many places like this but this was beyond the best.

Great place to get a bite to eat and a drink before going on a hike.

It was amazing to see children practicing the ski jump while enjoying a beer and delicious food

This is a huge structure. Really impressive to actually watch someone on the jump. So brave (or foolish).

This place is open to visit for free to all the visitors. It is just at the starting point of famous tourist spot called Partnachklamm. Olympic events took place at this venue. Also this is available for skiing in winter at certain cost. This ramp is really big and there is a hotel at the bottom of the ramp.

The height was absolutely breathtaking! We reached the top through the meadow road on the backside, and the view gave me goosebumps.

Climbed this October 3. A bit of snow at the side near the summit but there was no need for crampons or microspikes. Finished in 3.5 hours but it was quite steep. You are almost always ascending. Recommend bringing bananas and other similar food to avoid cramping up.

For me this was fantastic, amazing views in the distance, nice wooded paths and greenery, and great once you reach the top with a nice restaurant. The path up from mittelstation to the summit is hard going but not that long and very rewarding

Blue route: easy hiking, with nice views from the top. As of 12.04.2024: there is no snow, the cable car was not yet working, and the hut at the top was closed. Still beautiful hike for the beginners or as season opening hike.

A beautiful mountain that offers an almost 360 view of the area. The cable cart is cheap and offers a great experience to the top of the mountain. The mountain still had some ice on it which created some mud in certain areas so clean shoes are will definitely get dirty. I highly recommend this.

Rode the Wankbahn to the summit of wank, then had an ice lolly at the Wankhaus. I regret not buying some of the merch. A pair of socks that say “I love Wank” would be the perfect gift for any adolescent boy.

There are very good views and scenery. But the road up the mountain will become muddy and slippery after the snow melts, so be careful

Really amazing. Can sometimes be messy but it is a great thing to do if you’re bored. Some people reach the peak faster but it depends on the pace. I am an expert at going to wank. And so are many others

Great place to visit

Short historic street in Garmisch-Partenkirchen - beautiful shops and restaurants along the cobble stone street, with several fountains and smaller churches. Definitely a tourist paradise to start before heading to the mountains.

The historic Ludwigstrasse is a very picturesque stretch in the Partenkirchen part of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Many very beautiful buildings flock the street. The shops and restaurants are very inviting. Worth a stroll by day and night.

Visited here during the Partenkirchnerfest in August. An ambience of a stunning walk along the timeless bavarian houses awaits you!

Nice place have to walk on a small incline but not a big problem pedestrian walk on the street even tho there is sidewalk can be a problem for driver's

(Translated by Google) We decided to take a walk here to soak up the atmosphere of the old town. If you have time, I highly recommend this place for a leisurely stroll and to observe the locals. (Original) Wir haben uns entschieden, hier spazieren zu gehen, um die Atmosphäre der Altstadt zu spüren. Wenn ihr Zeit habt, kann ich diesen Ort für einen gemütlichen Spaziergang und zum Beobachten der Einheimischen nur empfehlen.

Such a beautiful and incredible town. All the paintings makes you feeling in a fairy tale 💖

After visiting a few years ago, I came back to see how it's going. The food is good (except for my Apfelstrudel, which was Not fresh :( ), the prices are alright. Nothing to complain Here. It was quite a nice Lunch. If I Had to complain, it would be the Service. They're really friendly, don't get me wrong but Jesus we waited Long. Even for the small Things. The waitress asked us If we wanted some more Sauce, which was really nice of her. Unfortunately it took her Like 7-10 minutes to Bring it so we were already done with the food😭 Still, its a great place for traditional food and I recommend it

NOT recommended at all. Nobody confirms your reservation. Uneducated and unprofessional behaviour of the staff. Better try the hotel from the center. Maybe it is more expensive but more sure!

Awesome food and beer. If only the young waiter knew how to do his job! From the moment we sat down to the moment we left, he's been rude and irritable, as if we did something wrong to him... perhaps he needs a holiday? Such a pity, since the place is awesome

Gulasch suppe is superb. Rostbraten super. Best food in the area. Make reservations for weekend. Gets busy. Has playpark for kids. Reasonably priced. Stammtish table.

The restaurant was amazing, with lovely Bavarian food and a lovely ambience to the beer garden. Our waitress, Julia, was very attentive and looked after us brilliantly, making our meal perfect. Well done Gasthof Stern, we will be back!

Great place for delicious dinner. We’ve been frequent visitors to this restaurant and have always been satisfied with the food and service. However, there is a young waiter who consistently behaves inappropriately towards customers, and this is not the first time we’ve experienced it. we visited today Sunday 26.11.25 with friends for dinner and once again this particular waiter disappointed us with his attitude. His behavior, in contrast to the otherwise high standards of the restaurant, harms its reputation. The management should really train him in proper customer service and the manners expected in such a well-regarded establishment.

We had a perfect time here. The room was new, clean and comfortable. The food was wonderful and the staff spoke English and were incredibly friendly. The price was good and included breakfast and WIFI. It is close to the shops and all round a great spot!

Beautiful alpine lake, honestly not that impressive or stupendous as many other lakes in Bavaria, very small and grassy, water not that blue and definitely not crystal clear. But every man to his own taste. A star off because it's overly touristic and some of the establishments here feel a little bit expensive for the area…

A piece of intact world. Hopefully for a long time. This is an ideal place to enjoy regional food and beverages on a terrace

Very pretty and cold lake. You can relax in the grass nearby or pay to use a local bath. The lake is colder the deeper you get and has lots of fish. There are also almost no tourists here

Beautiful lake great easy hike for all ages good for swimming

Superb. Serene.

Amazing place!!!)))

Perfect place for an easy walk from Mittenwald, with some grandiose views of the Alps.

Free to enter, and recommend seeing the beautiful paintings on ceiling, and (in December) nativity scene near the front.

Stunning church located in Mittenwald. This is a must see. The painting on the outside of the church is beautiful, but the inside of the church is just stunning. Amazing artwork on the ceilings. Beautiful altar. The church dates back to 1315 and was reconstructed between 1738 and 1740 in late baroque style. The stunning frescos were painted by Matthaus Gunther (renowned Augsburg artist). The high altar was made with Veronese red marble. There are name plaques on the pews which is common in Bavarian and Tyrolean churches. They are reserved pews and were purchased or rented as a way to support the parish financially. Now it is open seating, but they keep these as historic reminders. I thought this was very interesting. We really enjoyed our visit.

A very nicely decorated church with free entry. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to see such amazing inner details inside the church for a very small town here in Germany. However, it managed to surprised me with its beauty 😍 You should definitely walk in to see this when you're already in Mittenwald.

Situated right next to the old town with an amazing baroque art style. Free entrance. Must see if you are visiting.

Church is situated right on the old Town. I visited there on the Easter day. Church was empty without any human presence. Just loved the calmness there. The artwork on the ceilings are remarkable. The biblical events are described inside the church as paintings and pictures.

Impressive, great paintings as the whole town, feel like in fairy tale

Fantastic this is just amazing - access is very easy - the church in the middle of the old streets art - parking place is 5 min walk.

Make sure to look up conditions on the hill before going. It looks like a pretty good area but it was completely covered in ice when we came making walking very dangerous, let alone using the playground or sledding or skiing.

First of all, if you want to came here, you better be coming in the morning, because even in working day ,in our case Friday, it was so busy that we end up looking for parking an our. The ride from the top was awesome, great looking wiews, when you are at the top of the mountain, there is playground for kids, and 50 meters away there is restorant with great prices. There is a road, down the hill, where you can walk, and go to Partnamklam ,I don't know the name correctly, you will get there about 1our and 15 min. Enjoy the wiews 😊

Parking nearby (5eur card), no waiting queue, smaller cosy gondolas, clean. In August may be difficult to find parking spot although the parking is big

Free if you have a Garmisch guest card. But only one-way. We took it on the way down after ascending through the Partnachklamm route.

definitely worth to visit, beautiful views and free one way ticket with guest card, on the way down you will find Partnachklamm, one the must visited place in Garmisch Partenkirchen

Well worth taking the gondola at summer, great views. For family hiking you can take it up to the mountain and walk down by feet.

The cable cars are very modern..The new kids area is very nice as well..you can also hike for different places when you go up

We hiked from the Elmau carpark, only about 2.5 hrs up at a pretty fast pace. Mostly gentle incline but pretty long. Loved the scenery on the way up. If going into the king's lodge, ask for the written guide in English (though it is pretty dry to read). Also just five mins walking up the hill ( through a little gate behind the lodge) is a fantastic viewpoint (aussichtpunkt think).. with a pergola and views towards the highest peak in Germany. Alpine garden closed for the season when we were there (mid Sept)

Intensive but rewarding hike, tour in the Haus and a Radler in the nearby cafe - a perfect weekend

What a trek to reach this place as surprising as where the landscapes...and always ecentricigy and simple Melancholy in this new Ludwig 2 place...

Pictures out hause

Great views and exhibit rooms

Scenery, stories and glamour

Disappointing Experience for International Tourists The guided tour of Schachen Castle was very disappointing, especially for those who don’t speak German. We were the only two Italians in a group of about 15 German-speaking visitors. I wasn’t expecting a tour in Italian, of course, but at the very least some explanations in English – the international language – would have been appropriate. Instead, we were handed a couple of printed pages in English with very basic information, while the guide spoke only in German, sharing interesting anecdotes and curious stories about the king – arguably the most engaging part of the visit. Thankfully, one kind German tourist noticed our discomfort and translated a couple of the anecdotes for us. But from the official guides: zero empathy, zero attention, and zero effort to engage with non-German-speaking guests. Even worse, we were offered an English guidebook – for an additional fee. But why should I pay extra for information in a language I understand, when I already paid for a guided tour? If you’re not going to provide English-language tours or explanations, at least charge less for international visitors. It’s shocking that a cultural site like this offers no real support for foreign tourists. In Italy – which is often criticized for its tourism services – I’ve never experienced anything like this. A missed opportunity, and a poor way to handle international tourism. A real shame, because the castle itself is fascinating – but the staff’s attitude ruined the experience.

Nice walk, family friendly, but not suitable for baby buggies, as the last part is very steep in some places. I recommend you take hiking sticks along.

Scenic waterfalls can be found with a moderate hike of approximately 400 meters in elevation gain. This path is less frequented by crowds, and the summit offers breathtaking views. It is a family-friendly destination, suitable for both adults and children.

If you like scenic trails and want an outdoor experience with beautiful views of Garmisch and the Zugspitze this place is one of many around this area to get some great exercise and photos. If you haven’t hiked up to straight across eye level be prepared. Level of difficulty is a 4 out of 5. You must wear proper hiking gear. Check the weather forecast. Backpack with water and food. A full battery for your cellphone. Walking stick. If you are out of shape do not attempt. Coming down will weaken your legs. It’s is steep and many treacherous exposed tree roots to trip over.

This is a real find. It's a beautiful spot that is really accessible to most, the path is a well maintained gravel path. You could reach the main bridge with the big waterfalls in 45 minutes, but it would be better to enjoy the journey and longer at the many spots where you can see the cascading water work its way down into the valley. To note: the way up is the way down. We parked at the sports field, but there are several points to access this trail.

It was a wonderful visit. The natural beauty is surreal. The waterfall and the river is delight to watch. The hike is steep so I would rate it medium, depending on what time you plan to visit. The trail is sometimes slippery because of frozen steps.

This waterfall is amazingly beautiful. It takes about 30 minutes or so walking from Farchant train or bus station to this waterfall. Along the way, you will enjoy the views of the forest around. This is an easy to medium hiking as the mountain is a bit steep for some parts. But it is really worth the effort. This place is a must for hikers. You will thank me for recommending this waterfall to you.

This is such a wonderful place to go hiking. It takes you a bit effort but it is well worth it. The view is amazing! You won't regret spending time here. If you want to have an unforgettable experience, then grab your gear. 😀

When I visited it in May, there weren’t many tourists yet except domestic tourists during weekends. I like it that way. At the Altstadt, you can see the Bavarian Alps. It is so scenic!

A beautiful place with the picture perfect background of mountain ranges. The historical architecture of the buildings are preserved with history depicted on the building walls in form of painting.

Right out of a fairytale. Many houses are hand-painted and the balconies overflow with flower boxes. Mountains rise up as a backdrop, urging us to hike. An idyllic holiday destination for outdoorsy folk.

Mittenwald is a picturesque alpine town that offers a more intimate and concentrated experience than its famous neighbor Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The town's claim to fame is its centuries-old violin-making tradition, established by Matthias Klotz in the late 17th century after his apprenticeship in Italy. Visitors can explore this legacy at the fascinating Geigenbaumuseum (Violin Making Museum), which charges just 5.50 euros for a carefully curated exhibition of historical instruments. The town's strategic location on a historic trade route between Germany and Italy contributed to its cultural development and prosperity. Today, Mittenwald captivates visitors with its superior café culture, featuring numerous outdoor establishments along its charming main street, and the breathtaking mountain views visible right from the train station. A major highlight is the thrilling Leutasch Gorge, offering free access to suspended walkways stretching 2 kilometers above rushing waters - a more adventurous alternative to Garmisch's Partner Klamm. The town's beautifully painted houses and compact layout create an immediately immersive experience, allowing visitors to start exploring the moment they step off the train,

A beautiful little town with quaint buildings and shops with mountains in the background. Take the cablecar to the top for fabulous views of the mountain and countryside. Have a beer from the highest brewery in Germany.

After parking statue main carpark by the train station it is a 5 minute walk to the Altstadt and boy is this worth it. Look at my pictures. Worth every minute we spent here

Fairytale city and had different looks in every season.

beautiful views, small lake, many different routes, not crowded

The Karwendel is a stunning mountain range located in the Northern Limestone Alps, spanning the border between Bavaria in Germany and Tyrol in Austria. When viewed from the top, the Karwendel presents an awe-inspiring panorama of jagged limestone peaks, deep valleys, and alpine meadows. The terrain is rugged and dramatic, with steep cliffs and sharp ridgelines that are often snow-capped even in the summer. The valleys below are lush and green, dotted with dense forests and clear mountain streams. From above, you can see the extensive network of hiking trails that wind through the range, along with the occasional mountain hut perched on a ridge or nestled in a valley. The air is crisp, and on clear days, you can see far across the Alps, with the distant peaks of other ranges forming a majestic backdrop. The natural beauty and serenity of the Karwendel make it a favorite destination for hikers, climbers, and nature lovers seeking a remote and pristine alpine experience.

So glad we stopped at this amazing place! Unbelievable views, with great food and beer at the top of the mountain! Wonderful walking/hiking paths along the top.

A must visit place in Germany. And, always should be prepared with the necessary gears like hiking ir climbing shies, thick (skiing) gloves, good layers of body protection and more. Couldn't do a hike up on foot nor had enough time to wander around that high.

It's a fabulous activity for everyone. Up the mountain the view is incredible and climbing up the highest viewpoint isn't that hard. Visit the gigantic telescope as well to learn all about the animals and plants that live up there. You can sunbathe too 😎 There's a restaurant with many options and incredible view of the town.

Loved it . Very majestic mountains. Clear pathway for small hike (panorama weg) There's also a restaurant on top that has good variety of dishes

Very beautiful mountain in the alps and it is out of the touristy areas (such as Zugspitze). Yet, it is a very short train journey from Garmisch-Part. The cable car was €34.50 per adult with additional €3 deposit (you get it back). It is a short 15-20 minute walk from Mittenwald station also! The mountain top is very beautiful with sights of the other alps on a clear day! Also it is a popular skiing destination.

Great place to walk (5-6km) with or without kids, you can find several places where you can take a bath in the hot summer days.

What a beautiful place to spend the day and hike around. The lake is beautiful, and there is also a nice restaurant.

I have been to this lake in the winter, cross-country skiing when there is snow. Magic place.

Fabulous place. Take a picnic & walk right round the whole of the lake - 2 hrs if you just kept walking but there are lots of benches to sit on & admire the view. Half way round is a well placed public lavatory - very clean & well stocked! They have a swimming lake where you can boat as well, only open in the high season. It wasn't open today (Sept 12th). Dogs on leads, bikers & runners and lots of interesting wildflowers to see

We were hiking there with our 8 months old son. Easy walk through the forest. Beautiful landscape.

Awesome location!

beautiful place, nice for quick walk

Great moderate hike starting from the Partnachklamm exit. The trail takes about two hours, mostly on wide and well-maintained paths, with handrails in steeper spots and benches along the way for breaks. At the top you’re rewarded with stunning views of the Alps. The Alm serves cold beer and tasty food, making it the perfect finish to the hike. A very rewarding experience!

I thought I’d be clever and hike up the path instead of riding the cable car. Oh my, it was insanely steep in places and really hard work! Still, felt great to get to the top, enjoy the views, and then head down the shaded zig-zagged path to the gorge.

This is beautiful stop while in Garmisch- Partinkirchen. The cable car ride up is barely 10mins. And very next to the Olympic ski stadium

The cable car is nice and give a relaxing but beautiful view. The hiking down to the gorge is very beautiful !

It was my first time in Gondola and I was so scared. It was a great experience.

Super hike, even better food and beer. Very gemütlich

Be So insanely beautiful. You hike can up Eckbauer or take the gondola. There is also a gorge on one side that is super cool to walk through with rushing water.

(Translated by Google) In pictures it looks nicer than it is. If you're nearby, you can do it. However, I recommend the much more beautiful lakes in the surrounding area (e.g. Lautersee or Ferchensee). (Original) Auf Bildern sieht es schöner aus als es ist. Wenn man in der Nähe ist, kann man es schon mal machen. Jedoch empfehle ich die deutlich schöneren Seen im Umland (z.B. Lautersee oder Ferchensee).

(Translated by Google) Small but very beautiful lake. You can only get there on foot along the paths. On the way to the lake there are magnificent views of the mountains, Karwendel is especially beautiful. The water is clean and cold, there are a lot of fish. The banks are grassy, ​​but marshy, it is best to walk barefoot, because... water constantly comes out from under your feet. The streams flowing into the lake are very cold. (Original) Маленькое но очень красивое озеро. Добраться можно только пешком по тропинкам. По дороге к озеру открываются великолепные виды на горы, особенно красив Карвендел. Вода чистая и холодная, много рыбы. Берега травянистые, но топкие, лучше всего ходить босиком, т.к. вода постоянно выступает из-под ног. Ручьи, впадающие в озеро, очень холодные.

My wife and I love waterfall hikes. This is one of our top 3 in the world. Great trail, like no other we’ve experienced. Very safe and clean, wasn’t crowded when we went. Easy parking and the waterfall at the end was spectacular!!

So far the adventurous klamm we have been to. We entered it from Austria side and reached waterfalls at the end. We took the route which goes over the gorge. They had a interesting story of a spirit living in that forest and gorge being its home. You walk on the metal rail all along the gorge, with the stream rushing beneath you. Gave us the adrenaline rush. The railing is done on the mountain all along its way at its middle point. Took a other hiking route through the mountain side which is walking deep in the forest. Two viewpoints , one is the bridge across the two mountains on the two sides of the gorge and after a while comes the second bridge at much higher elevation, where you can overlook the mountain, river stream beneath, and much more. Simply scenic and exceptional and exciting. I am sucker for such views and shocking was my friends agreed this was definitely 10/10 place. It is a big coming from them 😄😁

Very nice place, walking on the iron bridges is great! The parking is a big problem - very small parking lot, and no near place to park when it's full...

Powerful view. Great trail for the whole family. Gave up on entering the waterfall because of its price: 5 euro per adult and 2.5 for a child

A fabulous place. Went here with my wife a number of years ago and walked through the whole gorge - it was stunning. This time, as a remembrance to my wife, we walked up from the bottom as far as we could go. It is nerve wracking for those with a fear of heights (like me) but the views are worth it. Better when there are no other people around though as it can get busy.

Wonderful hike. We did the extra long version which is worth it. Also pay for the waterfall. It was beautiful and have a coffee and pretzel at the cafe near the waterfall. A lovely half way stop. Do the walk in reverse so much better.

its awesome .. we visited on 11 Aug from Munich to Mittenwald direct RE 61 and walking distance from Bahnhof to waterfall is 20mint . ticket for waterfall is 4euro . then we did one round of hiking . its quite easy and short . then on the we step into water too . it was so chilled and enjoyable. once must visit .

Don't wait to die for seeing heaven. It is there..

Nicely laid out park with a few walking paths, two of which lead to higher elevations in nearby mountains.

Enjoyed walking around the park, we found a shaded seat to savour our picnic overlooked by some stunning scenery.

Love this place and really enjoy time here

The Kurpark in Mittenwald is a great place to spend a couple of hours. The park has a giant chess board and a Parcheese set that matches. Plenty of flowers are a pleasure to see and smell. There are both a foot bath and an arm bath, and the bathrooms are very clean. Entrance is free.

Quiet, beautifully landscaped park with trails, fish ponds, ducks, flowers and secluded benches to rest and relax.

Quite and beautiful
