Take a trip to Garmish-Partenkirchen which is an 1.5 -2 hour trip from Munich on the train. From there you can take a trip up to the summit of the highest mountain in Germany - the Zugspitze. The Zugspitze can be found in the Bavarian Alps, straddling the border with Austria. The eastern summit is 9732ft/2967m high. Take the Zugspitzbahn and then able car to reach the summit. The views are truly awesome and words don't do them justice. You can apparently see five different countries on a clear day. Also if you get time why not take a stroll round the Eibsee lake nearby after you've taken the hair raising cable car back down from the summit.
