Bayerische Zugspitzbahn : Bergbahn auf Deutschlands höchsten Gipfel : tourist folder : Bayerische Zugspitzbahn Bergbahn AG. : Germany : nd [c.1955] : back cover
A tourist information folder giving details in German and English issued by the Bayerische Zugspitzbahn, the mountain rack railway that runs from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to allow access to the Zugspitze, the highest mountain in Germany. Opened in sections between 1928 and 1930 its upper terminus, as seen here, was at Schneefernerhaus. This was then an hotel that opened in 1931. However in recent decades the upper section of the railway, in tunnel, has been re-routed to a new summit terminus and the hotel, that finally closed in 1992, is now a research station.
The folder's back cover shows the happy sunshine, complete with a Bayerische Zugspitzbahn cap, beaming down on the Hotel Schneefernerhaus.
