Is there still a "border checkpoint" there? While I didn't go to the Zugspitze, I crossed the border from Germany to Austria. There's a few signs saying "welcome to Austria" or whatever the German equivalent is, a warning that the speed limit is 130 km/h (ah, German autobahns...), and that's about it. It's like crossing from one US state to another. -- Robert Merkel 00:20, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm not the one to do this but boy does this page need a change - http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1877123,00.html
Austria and Germany are both signatories to the Schengen Agreement so there should be no border checkpoint.
The old checkpoint from before the Schengen Agreement is still there but there are no guards
I was there 1993 and 1994 and recall the stupefying crossing over narrow steel gantries well. Two things spring to mind, firstly, that the border post was unoccupied (there were probably two, but I only recall one) and secondly, that even if there were a need for a manned post down in the valley, two or three thousand metres above sea level, well over the snow line on a man made platform designed as a cable-car terminus, there is no need. Sure, you could be smuggling something... ice cream? Drugs to suppress vertigo? I'd have to guess there have always been easier crossing places on this section of the border. I recall the guard's hut as being a very small kiosk.
I'm a little disappointed this page doesn't mention the nearby town of
Wank,_Bavaria, a source of amusement and a distraction from the immediate drop (it's clearly marked on a map on the crossing). :)
Can any of you offer any information on the Großes Höllental (Large Valley of Hell) as I would like to create a Wikipedia article on this area. I know what the Höllental (Valley of Hell) is. I am not good at German but this is what I have found: here and it has soemthing to do with Klobenwand? Thanks! FK0071a 11:17, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone else have a problem with the mountain infobox parameters being in German? It appears that when this infobox was created, the data was copy/pasted from the German page version. I wanted to make some edits to the infobox (actually addding a parameter was one of them}, but was unsure how to do it in this unfamiliar format and language. Also the infobox appears different on the visible page than any other mountain infobox I've dealt with (I've made perhaps hundreds of infobox edits).
What I would like to do is take all the existing data from the current infobox and place it the standard English Wikipedia mountain infobox template so it will be like virtually every other mountain article here. Anyone object to me doing this? -- Racerx11 ( talk) 03:17, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
I see many images already in the article so I won't add this directly. An involved editor may chose this high-res view if it fits the article better.

I traveled here when i was young, was wondering if there is any connection to hitler and Zugspitze hence the hitler youth. thx — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mvdc1980 ( talk • contribs) 18:29, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

The article's lede suggests that visitors must take a cable car ride from here to the summit. This confusion might arise from the former arrangement in which the cog railway up from Garmisch terminated at the Schneefernerhaus, whence the Zugspitzplatt (right next to the summit) could thus be reached. The Zugspitzplatt is, however, where the cog railway now terminates; the branch to the Schneefernerhaus is still there, but is now only used by research station staff (the Schneefernerhaus ceased to be a hotel and became an environmental research station in 1999). That short cableway now serves as the staff's main means of reaching the Schneefernerhaus (they have to go to the Zugspitzplatt up above first); greater numbers of staff, or heavy loads, are usually taken to the Schneefernerhaus on the cog railway. I have therefore amended the lede to reflect the current arrangement. Kelisi ( talk) 16:15, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
