For centuries, the Zugspitze was considered unclimbable, a rock mass inaccessible to humans. Today, 600,000 people stand on its summit every year. Over the years, more and more rock has been blasted away, slabs have been laid, the rock has been concreted over and buildings have been erected. Today, the Zugspitze and the plateau below are home to restaurants, bars, cafés, kiosks, souvenir shops and two post boxes that are emptied every day. Visitors can stroll around as if in a pedestrian zone.
