Take the cable car to the top of the Zugspitze
and enjoy the incredible view.
The mountain sits right on the border between
Austria and Germany.
A tunnel, right through the mountain,
connects the two countries. Believe it, or not,
the border is indicated by the respective
signs of the two countries.
Right after the German sign, there is a small niche
hewn into the rock. I was told that in years gone by,
two border guards sat at a little desk and stamped
your passbord. If, because you were just on a little
sight seeing tour, you had not brought your passport,
you could not go to the other side of this tunnel,
since the other side was already in Germany.
