Die Zugspitze

I had the opportunity to go up to the top of the Zugspitze (Germany's highest mountain in the Alps) today. These pictures don't really do it justice, but I hope they give a flavor. Wow! What a view!!! And it was around 80° down in Garmisch, but freezing cold up on the top of the mountain (with snow and all, at an altitude of 9600 feet). This is looking up at the peak:

This is looking down from the peak ... like flying in a helicopter, what?

The peak:

Lake Eibsee, at the base of the mountain:
