20th anniversary of the Eagle Walk
The Adlerweg trail will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2025.
To mark this special occasion, plans are underway to create an Adlerweg photo point at the Grubigstein summit hut – with the Zugspitze in the background, of course!
The photo point is expected to be set up in summer 2026.
Look forward to a photo point with one of the most beautiful scenic views of the Zugspitze.
