Apart from the majesty and beauty of some of Germany's highest mountain peaks, Garmisch-Partenkirchen is also very near to the Partnach Gorge, just south of the resort, which is an area of spectacular natural beauty where the Partnach River surges through a narrow, mile-wide gap between high limestone cliffs.Other attractions in the area include The King's House on Schachen, which is a small castle built for the famous Ludwig II of Bavaria. The lovely grounds of this castle contain the Alpengarten auf dem Schachen, an alpine botanical garden. Garmisch-Partenkirchen was also the birthplace of Richard Georg Strauss, the famous German composer, which is exciting for classical music enthusiasts.
