Between Heaven and the Höllental Valley
Caption: Just above the top station of the Alpspitzbahn lifts, two steel beams form a floating X over a vertical drop of almost 1,000 metres. No later than when the glazed end of the 25 metre long bridge is reached, incredulous “Wow’s” are elicited from the lips of even hardened mountaineers and climbers as they take in the unrestricted wide and deep views of the snow covered Zugspitz, Waxensteine, gigantic Alpspitz north face and down to the untamed Höllental Valley.
