The route leads to the end of the line at the "Zugspitzplatt" (plateau of Zugspitze - 2600 m above sea level). The Zugspitze, with its peak at 2964 m above sea level, is the highest mountain in Germany. It is among Germany's most popular destinations for excursions. The 18.7km route, 6 km of which are in tunnels, with a maximum gradient of 250 ‰, was opened in 1930 after only two years of construction, and goes from Garmischvia Grainau and Eibsee to Zugspitze. Thanks to the powerful all-axle drive, the vehicle is able to push along an unmotorized car, so that all supply goods can be transported by rail up Germany's favourite mountain.
