There is quit a long distance between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Zugspitze running through the Reintal valley. This part is easy to walk and only some smaller insects deteriorated the nice hike. After the Reintalangerhut the mountains showed their teeth. The Knorrhut is not far away but it is 700m higher. The feet were not really amused about the climb but the view was great and worth the price.
