zugspitze, DE-BY, 2963m

there were plus 27°C in munich this early april and we have decided to feel the real winter at the snowy zugspitze (2963m, somewhere ele 2962m), instead. just to close my above average skiing season accordingly, you know? btw, you still remember my sellaronda & plose experience in soouth tirol earlier this year? ☃

i've been skiing at zugspitze in early february, too. thus there will be few older pictures as well. will you call the difference? 😄

view from the zugspitze to the south. it is still in bavaria, but the

distant mountains on the right side behind are already in tirol (austria).

the church of grainau => left to right: alpspitze, waxenstein, zugspitze.

waxenstein is in the front, so this massif looks even bigger than its

two much higher fellows. lets call it the wonder of perspective 😇
