The Zugspitze is one of those mountains that attract attention in a special way . Especially considering that the 2962 m summit is the highest mountain in Germany . This motivates a lot of mountaineers throughout the whole summer to put in some sweat and hard work to climb to the summit , or just pay ? 48 for the Gondola . For a long time , I too have been attracted to this idea of climbing the Zugspitze , but with my bike . Mountain tours make sense to me if they offer a lot of down hill riding fun , both in summer and winter time . Consequently , I am looking for beautiful and memorable trails here in the local area or in other mountain ranges . The tour of the Zugspitze is one of my favorite trails . The climbing is a touristy must - do thing and the riding down is an extreme challenge . I knew that the descent from the summit was possible after speaking to some other Garmisch locals who are also extreme bikers who know the area intimately . If it makes sense in the end to ride this section then you have to decide for yourself , it depends on your personal taste , your experience and vertride performance . I had been wanting to do this for a long time but always something came up that prevented me from doing it . Other mountains or projects were in the way or the weather was bad or I had to do some studying for University . This Fall all the conditions finally came together to achieve this descent . A long period of stable weather offered us perfect high mountain conditions and dry rock with no snow on the critical passages . Quite often the late season also means that there are less hikers , especially mid - week . I took the crazy mountain bike photographer and filmer Colin Stewart on a Monday morning at the beginning of October to do this project . Starting point was in a village called Erhwald and from there there is a pleasant ascent on forest road to begin with , slowly changing into single trail and going on up to the Zugspitze Plateau . As we went over a pass from Austria back into Germany we got our first glimpse of the summit . Here we began pushing and carrying our bikes over to the Knörhütte where we planned to spend the night . We aimed to have a relaxed afternoon on the sunny terrace at the hut and enjoy some amazing alpine views . In the evening we had some great “ Bergsteiger Essen ” with a couple of Weiss biers and a Schnapps . We hit the sacks early that evening because we wanted to leave the next morning at 3 am . It seemed only 5 mins later when we were standing outside the hut at 3 am holding our bikes and with head lamps on . Surrounded by awesome rocky mountains that were all the more impressive in semi - darkness . It was windy and the stars shone brightly , it was very atmospheric . Colin got impatient and wanted to start because there was no way he was going to miss the summit sunrise . It took us an hour and a half up to Sonnalpin at the head of the Zugspitze plateau , some sections of that we could even ride . From here the steeper climb up the summit ridge line begins and Colin left his bike hidden behind a rock . I shouldered my bike and it took another one and a half hours to reach the summit . After the initial scree most of the way is secured with wires . We couldn ' t see much in the dark but could still feel the exposure , especially with the strong winds . At this hour , which is normally wake up time for me , I was feeling a little uneasy , however , after exactly three hours we were finally on top . After yesterday ' s high alpine ambience we suddenly hit the top tourist zone which is the summit area of the Zugspitz . Suddenly we faced terraces , cosy huts , kiosks and telescopes . It was still pre - dawn and we climbed over to the summit rock itself and sat and looked East waiting to enjoy the warming colors of the sunrise sky . These 20 minutes of incredibly changing light made the pain of the climb suddenly worthwhile . Our aim was to catch the sunrise from the summit and in the early morning light to ride the rocky ridge line trail down to the SonnAlpin . This part of the descent is very steep , narrow and exposed with many fixed wires for the safety of hikers . It was essential to do it early before any hikers came up and to be extra careful to avoid causing any stone fall inadvertently displaced by riding . After warming up for 10 mins in the Müncher Haus with hot coffee and chatting to a curious hut warden about a bike appearing in front of his door , I put my pack on and saddled up on the bike . The descent literally started from the front door of the hut . I was excited with lots of adrenaline pumping through my veins . It was quite windy to start with and the steep steps off the summit terrace were a tough warm up . It took me about 15 minutes to really get going again . I began rolling slowly down and tried not to look to much either side of me because of the huge drops , on the left back down to the Knörhütte and on the right to Garmisch . I had to be careful about many of the small stones because they were like ball bearings and coupled with the high winds on the initial section made it very sketchy . After several bends the trail dropped left , we got out of the strong wind and I slowly found more flow . I trusted my tyres and brakes and my skill and it began to go better than I thought it would . After a few flowy bends I became more relaxed and continued over some rocky steps . The safety wire was always running beside me at the same height as my bars and only offering me false safety . Colin followed me on foot with the camera gear and on some of the steeper sections he may even have been slower than I was . All of a sudden there was a very steep smooth rock slab beside a small hut . It took me a couple of roll - ins before I was certain I could ride it and that the rubber of my tyres would really stick to the rock . Consequences of stacking on this section were unthinkable , Colin was not even forcing me to ride it for the camera but I ended up riding this section twice . These are moments when the bike and materials reach their limits and this is one of the reasons why I am motivated to ride such tours . After years of experience you develop and ride passages which you thought would never be possible . But it is very important to be realistic and honest about your skills and carefully consider the consequences . After riding this crux slab there were still some steep technical sections but the exposure was much less . Finally , I reached the end of the rock ridge and had some fun sliding down the final scree slops back down to the Sonnalpin . At this point we meet the first of the hikers coming up from the hut , so timing turned out to be perfect and we were both happy that we faced no traffic higher up . The hikers all shaked their heads in disbelief but they were all very friendly . They all asked if doing such a descent by bike really made sense . I couldn ' t really give them a straight answer and I understood their doubts . It ' s a lot of fun in a crazy way but in some ways it makes no sense to push the limits in high alpine areas . Colin found his bike and we both rode the easier and faster trail back down to the Knörrhütte . The exposure risk was suddenly gone , the trail much easier and I could relax and ride much faster . We made it back in time for lunch at the hut with big pasta , a cold beer and some sweet cake . We chilled for an hour or so at the hut and then made the beautiful descent through Rein Tal with the amazing Fall colors on the trees back to Garmisch . We hit the town late afternoon and returned to civilization with memories of a beautiful mountain sunrise seemingly only hours beforehand . 사업자 정보 표시 | | | 사업자 등록 번호 : -- | TEL : -- | 사이버 몰의 이용 약관 바로 가 기
