EXPLORED: highest position #9 (October 5, 2011)

 

To climb Germany’s highest mountain - the Zugspitze (2,962 metres above sea lever) - on one day, we had to get up early. We left Ulm, where my brother lives, at 6 a.m. in the morning and arrived in Ehrwald, Austria two hours later to start our ascent from there. Our plan was to arrive at the top no later than 4 p.m. to be able to catch the last cable car downwards. That way we had 7 hours for climbing and 1 hour for lunch in between. In fact we made it to the top much quicker and reached the summit before 3 p.m. The weather was a bit too hot for climbing but perfect for making pictures - and the view along the way was just terrific.
