Hiking nearish to Munich besides Zugspitze?

There are many different trails in the area surrounding Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Why only consider the Zugspitze? There are even some trail books published for this area.

Thanks, Mignon, for the tip. The Hausberge look wonderful. I'm seeking, though, a spot a longer drive from Munich so that one quarter of the city's population isn't there with me on the weekend! :)

Maybe, for example, the Pitztal Valley?

Was in the Pitztal, Österreich late in the ski season in March a few years ago. Other than skiing there was not much going on. We did take the Gletscherexpress to the top. That year the Föhn wind had brought in so much Sahara dust that the snow was orange. I remember helicopters dropping charges on the hills to prevent avalanches. Just got back from the Ötztal. That was a nice trip. Took the Bergbahnen Sölden up to the Elements Restaurant. Stayed in the small village of Gries. Drove the toll road Ötztalstrasse into Italy, but turned around after the street got too narrow and not too much fun anymore.

Anyone have suggestions of hikes to look at or parts of the nearby
Alps to consider?

This is a website just for this https://www.germany.travel/en/nature-outdoor-activities/hiking.html.

Thanks, Mignon, for the tip about Schachenhaus. I definitely hadn't seen that before. Pasha Ludwig! I'll be coming from Bayreuth, so it would fun to fit Ludwig in the trip.

Thanks for the website, jkh. I'll check it out.

The Ötztal looks very pretty, mchpp.

Interesting to think how being in Munich would have changed the festival. I certainly would rather spend a week there than Bayreuth. (Luckily, the operas are so long I won't have a chance to get too bored with the town.)
