Flying Fox in Bavaria: Garmisch and Munich

The dream of flying has fascinated mankind for centuries. Flying Fox in Bavaria brings you a good deal closer to this feeling of freedom. Strapped in and secured, you float from A to B on a wire rope at lofty heights. You sit in a harness construction that is hooked into the steel cable. An exciting experience for anyone who finds bungee jumping too daring but is still looking for a thrill.

A high-altitude experience with thrills in Garmisch and Munich

In Garmisch-Partenkirchen, you can enjoy the view of the small town, the Olympic ski jump and the unique Alpine panorama - while you hurtle down into the valley at speeds of up to 70 km/h. From the train station, you can either walk two kilometres along the Partnach river or take bus lines 1 or 2 in the direction of the Garmisch-Partenkirchen clinic (bus stop Skistadion or Kainzenbad). Currently (as of October 2022), the Flying Fox in Garmisch-Partenkirchen has to take a break due to renovation work. All information about the current season can be found directly at Flying Fox Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

In Munich, you can fly through the Olympic Stadium at a height of 35 metres (underground station: Olympiazentrum; lines U3, U8) and experience the place you may know from concerts and sporting events from a completely new perspective. The moment before the jump is probably the hardest - but the feeling of happiness is not long in coming.

Afterwards, you can relax in the small beer garden of the Olympia-Alm, which is located directly on the way to the viewing platform (coming from Lerchenauer Straße), with a view of the Olympia Tower and reflect on your adventure. The Alm is open in summer and winter and offers hearty, typical Bavarian dishes as well as hot and cold drinks.

Our tip: In good weather, grab a drink, sit down on the large lawn next to the beer garden and let your gaze wander over the Olympic site. Incidentally, at 564 metres above sea level, the Alm is Munich's highest beer garden.

Climbing at the foot of the Zugspitze

Real feelings of happiness also await you in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen climbing forest. Here, close to the impressive backdrop of the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain, you can tackle a total of 13 exciting courses - from easy to challenging routes. There is something for every level. The highest platform is at a height of 17 metres and promises a fantastic view. The varied and creative climbing elements were lovingly crafted especially for the largest climbing forest in Upper Bavaria. If you are coming as a group of more than ten people, you should book in advance. Smaller groups can simply drop by spontaneously.

After the climbing fun comes the enjoyment

The climbing forest is a 30-minute walk from Garmisch-Partenkirchen train station: Simply follow Bahnhofstraße and turn left into Von-Brugg-Straße. Then walk along the main road before turning right into Philosophenweg. From here, it's only a few hundred metres uphill towards the Wankbahn cable car.

On the way back from the climbing forest to the railway station, you can stop off at the Schützenhaus Partenkirchen and enjoy some hearty Bavarian food - the perfect end to your adventure!
