6Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a picture-perfect Bavarian town known for its half-timbered houses, alpine meadows, and access to Germany’s highest peak, the Zugspitze. This historic town combines two previously separate towns: Garmisch, with its modern ski resort feel, and Partenkirchen, which has retained its traditional Bavarian charm.
In winter, Garmisch-Partenkirchen is a hub for skiing, snowboarding, and ice skating. In summer, the town offers stunning hiking trails, including a trek to the summit of the Zugspitze via the Eibsee Lake. The Partnach Gorge, with its waterfalls and steep rock faces, is a must-visit.
