Reading the route
Garmisch-Partenkirchen sees the start at 8 pm, for an overnight loop that circles the foot of the Zugspitze massif, Germany's highest peak, without ever climbing the summit itself.
The route first passes Lake Eibsee, then climbs to the Kothbachsattel pass, at 2,199 m, before dropping to Straßberghaus and Arzkasten.
It passes Pestkapelle once, before Schloss Elmau and Laubhütte, then passes it again further round the loop, in a pattern of partial back-and-forths typical of the route.
The finish is back in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. 42 hours 30 minutes of cutoff in total.
