The "Tourismusgemeinschaft Zugspitz-Region" is not only associated with Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany's top winter-sports venue, but also with cultural highlights such as the expressionist art movement in Murnau, the famous violin-making centre in Mittenwald and Schloss Linderhof in the Ammergauer Alps. In summer there are 1200 kilometres of footpaths and an extensive network of biking trails to choose from and crystal clear lakes provide the opportunity to cool-off.
