Driving From Edelweiss Lodge In Garmisch Partenkirchen To Neuschwanstein Castle
Alps, Germany
Garmisch-Partenkirchen (German pronunciation: [ˈɡaʁmɪʃ paʁtn̩ˈkɪʁçn̩]) is a mountain resort town in Bavaria, southern Germany. It is the administrative centre of the district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, in the Oberbayern region, and the district is on the border with Austria. Nearby is Germany's highest mountain, Zugspitze, at 2,962 m (9,718 ft.).
The town was the site of the 1936 Winter Olympic Games.
Garmisch (in the west) and Partenkirchen (in the east) were separate towns for many centuries, and still maintain quite separate identities.
Partenkirchen originated as the Roman town of Partanum on the trade route from Venice to Augsburg and is first mentioned in the year A.D. 15. Its main street, Ludwigsstrasse, follows the original Roman road.
Garmisch is first mentioned some 800 years later as Germaneskau ("German District"), suggesting that at some point a Teutonic tribe took up settlement in the western end of the valley.
During the late 13th century, the valley, as part of the County of Werdenfels, came under the rule of the prince-bishops of Freising and was to remain so until the mediatization of 1803. The area was governed by a prince-bishop's representative known as a Pfleger (caretaker or warden) from Werdenfels Castle situated on a crag north of Garmisch.
The discovery of America at the turn of the 16th century led to a boom in shipping and a sharp decline in overland trade, which plunged the region into a centuries-long economic depression. The valley floor was swampy and difficult to farm. Bears, wolves and lynxes were a constant threat to livestock. The population suffered from periodic epidemics, including several serious outbreaks of bubonic plague. Adverse fortunes from disease and crop failure occasionally led to a witch hunt. Most notable of these were the trials and executions of 1589-1596, in which 63 people - more than 10 percent of the population at the time - were burned at the stake or garroted.
Werdenfels Castle, where the accused were held, tried and executed, became an object of superstitious terror and was abandoned in the 17th century. It was largely torn down in the 1750s and its stones used to build the baroque Neue Kirche (New Church) on Marienplatz, which was completed in 1752. It replaced the nearby Gothic Alte Kirche (Old Church), parts of which predated Christianity and may originally have been a pagan temple. Used as a storehouse, armory and haybarn for many years, it has since been re-consecrated. Some of its medieval frescoes are still visible.
Garmisch and Partenkirchen remained separate until their respective mayors were forced by Adolf Hitler to combine the two market towns in 1935 in anticipation of the 1936 Winter Olympic games. Today, the united town is casually (but incorrectly) referred to as Garmisch, much to the dismay of Partenkirchen's residents. Most visitors will notice the slightly more modern feel of Garmisch while the fresco-filled, cobblestoned streets of Partenkirchen offer a glimpse into times past. Early mornings and late afternoons in pleasant weather often find local traffic stopped while the dairy cows are herded to and from the nearby mountain meadows.
During World War II Garmisch-Partenkirchen was a major hospital center for the German military. After the war, it was used by the U.S. military as a recreation center for U.S. military men stationed in Europe and their families

What month was this filmed? I’m going at the very end of April/early May and will be driving this route or close to it. I’m hoping for similar weather and as much greenery.

[@MrsVixen82]

Did you drive through Austria?

[@AML2000]

Ms. Vixen Yes, he did drive through Austria. That's the shortest route from Garmisch to Neuschwanstein via Lehrmoos-Reutte-Füssen. The border into Austria was crossed at 12:33, and back into Germany at 54:30, where the yellow German city limit sign stands.

[@AndreiTupolev]

AML2000 You'd think there'd be more of a sense of occasion wouldn't you, not just a sign with "A" on it, that you could easily miss and not even realise you are.

[@AML2000]

AndreiTupolev With the Schengen agreement there seems not to be any border controls anymore in the continental EU. Looking at Google Earth, I can see that the actual border is at 12:31, and the wide spot in the road to the left is probably where the customs post used to be. Meanwhile, going back to Germany, the border is actually at 54:28, where the many starred EU sign is (and a little post on the ground with a red tip). The sign is blurred, but I suspect it says "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" The buildings just across the border may be the remains of the customs station there.

[@AML2000]

@@s.h.5323 As a trivia note, the term Austria for Österreich dates from the documents setting up the area in the 900's. The document was in Latin, and Austria is the Latin term they came up with. Austrians themselves even use the term, that's why their car plates have an "A" on them! I'm confused though. Are you trying to say that Garmisch and Füssen aren't near Austria? If so, I can assure that you are wrong. I did the same route on a tour bus in 1970, and both cities are right on the Austrian border . The Zugspitze, which is 2,962 m (9,718 ft) high, is near Garmisch, and you can walk to Austria in a tunnel in the mountain.

[@Jaguarmaserati]

Absolutely shit ton of Porsches in this, I counted 28.

[@touringinvestor1873]

I bet you wouldn't believe there are more Porsche's on Asian roads nowadays.. place like Hongkong, Singapore, Beijing to name a few... Porsche's made more money selling cars to Asian nations this decade and few more decades more I suppose..

[@Jaguarmaserati]

Actually, you'd be surprised. I have found out that most Porsches are becoming more and more common on roads. A few of the very very extreme ones being exceptions. But the Cayenne, Boxster, Cayman, 911 and Panamera variants are more or less......getting everywhere.

[@touringinvestor1873]

Phoenix Drake I stand corrected then, yes you're right.. perhaps Porsche do not limit production, like what lambo or Ferrari does come of think of it, why limit at all when the market is there up for grabs.. there are more ppl willing to buy their products, especially those newly rich economy nations.

[@Jaguarmaserati]

Well, they are somewhat limited in production when compared to other manufacturers. But they are more common than most people think. Particularly around big cities and of course, in their home country of Germany and it's neighbors.

[@Jaguarmaserati]

Well, that depends on the model. Cayman, Boxster, 991(Carrera, Cabriolet and Turbo), Cayenne, Panamera....these are all between 85 and 120k new in the US. Some are a bit more like the GTs on the 991 and suped up variants of the others whereas others....like the 918....are astronomical. And that is just the current models. Older ones do retain their prices somewhat, but they do drop down quite a bit. And only the Carrera GT and 959 really maintain those astronomical prices.
