Morning visit to Partnach Gorge (Partnachklamm)
Walk the gorge trail round trip; in summer the humidity is high and the trail slippery, so wear shoes with good grip and light rain gear. The entrance is near the Olympic ski jump; depending on fitness, extend towards Graseck and return.
Lunch｜Zum Wildschütz
Signature roasted pork knuckle, venison dishes, and generous German desserts, ideal for sharing. Recommend arriving early or expect a short wait.
Take the Wankbahn up the mountain to see panoramic views of the Alps
Easily take the cable car up Wank Mountain, where the summit has a circular trail and grass for picnics and relaxing. On clear days, you can see Zugspitze in the distance. If the clouds are thick, shorten your stay and return to town for a coffee break.
Old Town stroll and coffee time
Leisurely walk along the pedestrian street and admire the painted buildings (Lüftlmalerei), find a café or ice cream shop to rest, keeping a flexible and relaxed pace.
Dinner｜Gasthaus zur Schranne
Classic southern German flavors paired with local beer in a cozy atmosphere. It is recommended to try German dumplings or seasonal mushroom dishes as a relaxing end to the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
This itinerary mainly involves walking combined with short city bus or taxi rides. From the town center to the Olympic ski jump/gorge entrance, take a bus to Skistadion, then walk about 15–20 minutes; it is also possible to walk the entire way in about 30–40 minutes. To get to Wankbahn, take a bus or taxi; city taxi short rides cost about 10–15 euros.
Usually tickets can be purchased on-site. Summer has more visitors, so early arrival is recommended to shorten waiting times. Cable car operation depends on weather; check daily notices before departure and keep itinerary flexible.
Overall easy to intermediate. Gorge trail is slippery and narrow in sections; wear slip-resistant shoes and watch your steps. The mountain area is windy with obvious temperature differences; bring a thin warm layer. Healthy adults can easily complete.
If heavy rain, shorten time on Wank Mountain and rest in old town cafes or dessert shops; if the gorge water volume is too high or closed, switch to town walking and indoor activities.
During peak season and dinner rush, reservation or early arrival is recommended. Most places accept cards but it’s advisable to carry some cash just in case.
For same-day returns, ask your accommodation about luggage storage; train stations often have coin or credit card lockers but with limited availability, so store early and prepare change or payment options.
