About this audio guide
This guide to the Zugspitze, Germany's highest peak and a day trip from Füssen, follows Josef Enzensperger, the young climber who became the first weather observer in the tower beside the Münchner Haus in nineteen hundred. It is a story about isolation, a dog called Putzi, a fragile telephone line, and what a man eats when the hikers go home and the hut shuts for winter. Best heard on the summit terrace, within sight of the old tower.
