Garmisch-Partenkirchen is down there in the valley. It was too hazy to see Munich. It's about 100km away, past the lake in the upper left of the frame.
The summit itself is entirely in Germany. At 2,962 m (9,718 ft), it's the highest point in Germany. To get to the summit, you cross a little saddle , climb a metal ladder, then follow the cable railing to the cross. We decided to pass.
