Top 5 travel tips
One of the town's most beautiful sights and a popular hiking destination is Werdenfels Castle, the ruin of a former spur castle from the early 17th century. It lies at an altitude of 795 metres, about 80 metres above the Loisachtal, between Farchant and Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The march there leads comfortably over well signposted hiking trails and along a rock that drops steeply into the valley.
2. The pilgrimage church at a lofty altitudeThe listed pilgrimage church of St. Anton lies above the Partenkirchen district and is a wonderful destination for hikers and walkers. The church was consecrated to Saint Anthony of Padua. A popular route to this pretty church is the Way of the Cross, which has existed since the 18th century. There are also other hiking trails leading to the building at the foot of the Wank.
3. On the highest position in GermanyThe highest mountain peak in the country is that of the 2,962 metre high Zugspitze, which belongs to the Wetterstein Mountains in the Eastern Alps. The Zugspitze massif lies southwest of your holiday resort. Three paths lead up to the border between Germany and Austria via the western summit: via the Höllental, the Reintal and one via the Austrian Schneekar. With the mountain railway you can shorten the hiking tour and get yourself brought up to 2,720 metres in altitude. The rest of the way to the summit you have to climb on foot.
4. Take a stroll through the cityIn the centre of the village there are some sights to discover. The Ludwigstrasse in the historic district of Partenkirchen is particularly worth mentioning. There is a listed architectural ensemble, which begins at Rathausplatz and runs to Sebastianskircherl and Mittenwalder Straße. The buildings along the promenade are relatively narrow and mostly date from the 19th century. The Old House and the Wackerle House are the last witnesses of the 13th century, when the town was of supra-regional importance as a market and court.
