This is the Zugspitz, highest peak of Germany, one of many in Austria.
The hotel I stayed in was also very good, really all you need during a week of biking: breakfast, afternoon snacks and dinner included; bike garage, bike wash, heated swimming pool, sauna, good atmosphere, friendly people, etc.

Oh, and before I forget: yes, it is a beautiful area for mountain biking. Steep, technical climbs, flowy forest trails, fast rocky downhill tracks, hairpin turns, tight switchbacks with rocks and roots, gravel roads, you name, they have it.
Really good fun, I’ll let the photos do the talking.
