Wank, Mountain peak in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany
Mount Wank rises to 1,780 meters in elevation within the Ester Mountains range, featuring grassy slopes and panoramic views of the Bavarian Alps.
The Wankbahn cable car system, constructed in 1928 and operational since 1929, connects the mountain base to its summit throughout the summer months.
The summit cross, installed in July 1904 by the Werdenfelser Heimat Partenkirchen society, stands as a symbol of local mountain traditions.
Visitors can access the mountain through various hiking trails or take the Wankbahn cable car, which operates daily from 8:45 AM during the main season.
A scientific observatory at 1,782 meters monitors atmospheric conditions and contributes to research on climate patterns in the Bavarian Alps.
