Zugspitze

With a height of 2,962 meters, Zugspitze is Germany's tallest summit, it is located on the border of Germany and Austria. The Zugspitze is part of the Limestone Alps of Northern Europe. The eastern, middle, and western summits were once three peaks, but only the eastern top has retained its original form. This peak is completely within German territory.

The center top of Zugspitze was changed when the cable car summit station opened in the 1930s, and the west summit was mechanically blown up to make place for a flight control station. The control station, on the other hand, was never built. Because of the soil conditions at Zugspitze, the flora is not extremely diverse, but the vegetation is highly colorful, especially in the Schachen meadows, the Tieferen Wies near Ehrwald, and the valleys of Höllental, Gaistal, and Leutaschtal. Chamois and marmot habitats abound on the southern slopes of the range. The Zugspitze massif has three of Germany's five major glaciers, including the Höllentalferner and the Southern and Northern Schneeferner peaks.
