Kreuzeck, Mountain peak in Bavaria, Germany.
The Kreuzeck summit rises to 1,651 meters in the Wetterstein mountain range, offering views across the northern regions of the Bavarian Alps.
The mountain gained recognition when Germany's first mountain gondola, the Kreuzeckbahn, was built in 1926 to connect the surrounding peaks and valleys.
The Kreuzeck area played a central role during the 1936 Winter Olympics, marking the introduction of alpine skiing as an Olympic discipline.
Visitors can access the mountain through multiple hiking trails or take the Kreuzeckbahn gondola from the valley station in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
The mountain serves as part of the Garmisch Classic ski resort, featuring Olympic-grade slopes that host World Cup competitions in downhill and slalom disciplines.
