Höllental (Wetterstein)

Valleys

The Höllental, German for Hell's Valley, is one of the routes on the German side leading up the Zugspitze, on the border between Germany and Austria in the northern Alps, in the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria. The route passes through a narrow gorge partway along its length, making it a scenically dramatic path to Germany's highest mountain.
