Zugspitze is the highest mountain in Germany, located near the Austrian border, just over fifty miles south of Munich.

The Zugspitze belongs to the Wetterstein range in the northern Kalkalpen . It gets its name from the many snowslides ( Lawinenzüge in German ) on its steep north slopes.

On the Zugspitze's massif lie two of Germany's few glaciers , the Schneeferner and the Höllentalferner.

At the Zugspitze's summit is the Münchner Haus , well known in Germany as an Alpenvereinshütte , a facility used by the mountain-climbing association ( Alpenverein ). For more than a hundred years now, the summit has also had a weather station, which nowadays also gathers data for the Global Atmosphere Watch .
