I am usually afraid of heights. When I first saw the pictures of the Alpspix at the time we were building our itinerary for our Germany trip I was not quite sure if I would be able to handle walking and standing on the platform. From the research prior to our trip (thanks to Trip Advisor!) I was able to... More

The AlpspiX observation platform high in the Bavarian Alps on Alpspitz Mountain, next to Zugspitz. Zugspitz it the highest point in Germany therefore it is in the clouds more often than not.

Breath taking views of the valley and other mountains. Walk round the summit trail for panoramic views as well as the X. The platform moves slightly when people walk on it which adds to the experience. Follow the pleasure trail down to the Kreuzeckbahn for spectacular scenary and a fairly easy walk.
