Embracing the Unexpected Warmth

Munich, a city known for its frosty winters, is experiencing an unseasonal warmth this February. With temperatures soaring to a staggering 36°C on February 1st and an even hotter 38.9°C on February 2nd, the city is a paradox of winter and summer. This rare climatic phenomenon offers a unique opportunity to explore the city and its surroundings in a way that few have experienced before.

Start your adventure with the Zugspitze Tour on February 1st. The tour begins at 8:00 AM, offering a full day of exploration. As you ascend Germany’s highest peak, the Zugspitze, the air is crisp and the views are breathtaking. The cable car ride is an engineering marvel, and the panoramic views from the summit are nothing short of awe-inspiring. The perpetual ice of the Zugspitz glacier is a stark reminder of the harsh beauty of the polar regions, a theme familiar to my readers. The tour also includes a visit to the historic Skistadion in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where you can delve into the darker chapters of history and marvel at the architectural feats of the past.

“Day Trip with Karl - Karl was a wonderful tour guide. Very friendly, informative, knowledgeable, and conversational. He provided lovely suggestions during the day including delicious spots to eat and spectacular views. He was communicative regarding meeting times and went out of his way to provide a seamless trip. We went to Zugspitze, rode the cable car, visited Eibsee lake, had lunch, visited the Olympic stadium with ski lift, drove through Oberammergau and stopped for amazing ice cream! I would recommend this trip to anyone interested.” - Reviewed at 2024-06-26
