German Alps... Hammersbach??

We will drive from Dachau south and ultimately want to do Neuschwanstein Castle and Zugspitze... Would love recommendations for where to call "home base" in that area. Looking at a hotel in Hammersbach called Sentido. Anyone with knowledge of that town? Worried it may be a bit dull... not looking for museums, just good shops and a village that's worthy of walking around after dinner :-).

"Worried it may be a bit dull..." You are probably right. Hammersbach is a part of Grainau which has about 3,500 inhabitants. Hammersbach itself is a hamlet in beautiful surroundings, Garmisch-Partenkirchen being only a few kilometers away. Hammersbach is a stop on the Zugspitzbahn (Zugspitz railway) from Garmisch up the Zugspitze, Germany's highest mountain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammersbach_(Grainau) or (with more information and a picture, but in German) https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammersbach_(Grainau) For more pictures click (in the German version) on the link to Grainau.
