After you reach the first big waterfall directly followed by a small man-made waterfall you ha...

The town is fairly easy to navigate, but can be quite difficult without a map. It is recommended you start in the town center and work your way out. There are dozens of tourist attractions, but many are overpriced. One of the better things to do is to find one of the many stairwells leading up to the top of the fortress wall and walk along that for a unique view of the city. There is also Jakob...

Starting at the Olympic Ski Jump in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (708 m), walk toward the mountains along Wildenauer Strasse and follow signs to the Partnach Gorge (Partnachklamm).

Otherwise you can drive to the castle directly if you want skip the hik...
