In the future there will be a second on the Zugspitze next to the previous Summit Cross – for safety reasons: they want to enable guests to visit the cross without a risky climb. You turn to a certain group.
Above all, the popular top photo should be possible on the second cross, which, according to the Bavarian Zugspitzbahn, should be in an exhibition in the Summit Station on the highest mountain in Germany.
The real Summit Cross is on an exposed rock, around it goes straight into the depth. The path of the Mountain Railway station to the top is short, but connected to a little climb and certainly requires footness, good footwear and concentration.
Time and time again Flip-Flop Chaots
For many of the carefree visitors this is quite unsuitable, as can be found on the Zugspitzbahn. “You start with sneakers or even slippers without a helmet, without a wick,” said a spokeswoman for Bavarian Radio. The Mountain Rescue has to intervene time and time again.
From July 3, the second cross should be designed by the artist Bernhard Rieger to the public. In the exhibition, guests can not only take a photo, but according to the Zugspitzbahn also learn about the history of the original cross.
There has been a top cross on the Zugspitze since 1851, but it was replaced by more than 100 years due to serious damage. The new cross dates from 1993.
