Zugspitze: 2200m climbing to 3000m

The Zugspitze is Germany's tallest mountain ... and most definitely one of the most amazing things i have ever done. Maybe not recommended 2 days after pushing hard in a marathon; but then I am not known to do things like this in any clever way.

The hike is varied, exciting and very beautiful - the tunnels, face cliff climbs, glacier, forest, scrambles ... all come together for one exciting trip. Seven and a half hours hiking and climbing ended up being quite a tough little day ... but worth every step and breath of the way.

And being in Munich end of September lent itself to a rapid replacement of carbs and fluids ... seeing the Oktoberfest was running at the same time ;-)

And obviously so important to put on the weight ...
